Columbus Day

Today was my first time ever not having class on Columbus Day; it must be an East Coast thing. But anyway, there were a couple events noteworthy enough for a post.

Our vocations' director celebrated the inaugural mass in the new postulants' chapel. It is an attic room over the library that has had various uses over the years, but the rector decided to refurbish it so the postulants can have a private place to pray. (The Blessed Sacrament is always exposed in the shrine adjoining the seminary, but it is nice to have a more private space available as well). After that, we went hiking at Mt. Wachusett in central Massachusetts. One of the postulant's parents live quite near there, so we went to their home for an evening meal afterward before returning home for studies.
