Yesterday, the St. Louis seminarians from Kenrick-Glennon Seminary visited Prince of Peace. The group is on a pilgrimage to Kansas City prior to classes beginning in a couple of weeks. I've never considered Kansas City a pilgrimage site, but whatever floats their boat.
Anyway, the group of about 70 seminarians as well as a number of the administration came here for Vespers and a BBQ dinner we had prepared for them. We also had both Archbishops Burke and Naumann here. Archbishop Naumann presided at Vespers with me serving as MC. I had the opportunity to meet a number of seminarians that have been and still am friends with while I was at Kenrick. One of my close friends at Kenrick is John Mayo. He is entering the 3rd year of theology for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. He is a Mac computer man, but hey...we're all sinners in some way. I also got to talk with Fr. Tom Keller. He is the Director of Worship and I've mentioned him before in my blog (see. Jan. 20, 2007 & May 20, 2007). We been friends for a little over a year now and I think the seminary will have a much improved liturgical program with him at the helm.
Overall, it was a good evening. The group is here until tomorrow and visited the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Kansas City, MO as well as the St. Rose Philippine Duschene shrine in Mound City today. Tomorrow they visit the St. Peter Cathedral of our archdiocese. I wish them well and hope that they have a good couple of weeks rest before the new school year begins. Keep them in prayers that they may have a enjoyable and fruitful year. From reading my blogs, you know how tough the seminary can be, so they will appreciate your prayers greatly. Until next time...God bless.
