Did you know we pray Solemn Vespers twice a month with the greater community? Join us for our next one on September 12th at St. Ann's! bit.ly/3yeuxyg

Construction for our barn is underway! We can't wait to expand into this new space.

There are many ways to learn and use Latin. Some you wouldn't expect... Delta Michael Lugo shows his Latin skills during Latin immersion for the Foxtrot class.

Did you think that learning Latin would look quite like this?

Dr. Nancy Llewellyn always keeps our seminarians on their toes, especially during our Latin Immersion week! This week, our Foxtrot class has been diving deep into the Latin language.

We're excited to have our Foxtrot class join our ranks - keep all our seminarians in prayer as we prepare for our school year!

We were excited to be able to host the nearly 70 young women and 10 religious sisters who attended the Duc in Altum retreat last week. It's a joy to be able to share this seminary with the people of the diocese!

This week, we were excited to host the 70 young women who are attending the Duc in Altum retreat for a Solemn High Mass at the seminary. Pray for the young men and women in our diocese, that they may be open to the Lord's will in their lives!

A tour, some talks, capture the flag, and a cook-out were on the agenda for our Quo Vadis Days attendants at St. Joseph's.

On Wednesday, we brought the young men at the Quo Vadis Days retreat to the seminary for a look around and some fun!

Quo Vadis Days has been underway! What a gift it is to be able to gather again for this amazing retreat!

A few of our seminarians are hard at work prepping the plaques that will go next to the adopted trees on our property!

Congratulations to our new Deacons (Dcn. Aaron Huber was one of our first graduates)! After the excitement of the ordination this weekend, our seminarians began a week-long retreat at St. Joseph's. Today, the men were instructed by Fr. Basil Cole, Dominican Master.

We're proud of our nine seminarians who officially graduated from Belmont Abbey College on Saturday! Pictured below are six of our graduates with Dr. Nancy Llewellyn (Latin) and Dr. Matthew Siebert (Philosophy).

Our seminarians are beginning the move-out process as we start our summer break. They will all be missed - especially our nine seminarians who will be attending major seminary this fall. Pray for them all as they begin their summers!
