Yesterday was orientation at St. John's Seminary and Boston College where most of my classes will be. The campuses are contiguous, with BC having bought out a large part of SJS during the archdiocese's 2000s financial straits. Both are very picturesque and filled with historic buildings.
Historic Gasson Hall, which houses the 'Hall of Jesuit saints.'
St. Michael
St. Ignatius Loyola, S.J.
St. Stanislaus Kostka, S.J.
St. John Berchmans, S.J.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, S.J.
Mater Dei Est Mater Mea: the Mother of God is my Mother
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam: for the greater glory of God
And, finally, my first real shenanigan in seminary: sneaking onto the BC football field while my formation director was looking the other way. It was my first time on AstroTurf.
In case you have subscribed and eagerly await whatever priceless wisdom I have to impart on a daily basis, I will be making a silent retreat starting this evening so there will be no posts until Sunday.
