Return to St.Ben's

I have returned to St. Joseph Seminary College with a great surprise. I have news from the south that the classes began this year with 41 new seminarians. We only have 4 or 5 empty dorm rooms. What a blessing. Speaking of blessings, we did not have a repeat of last years start. No Katrina this year.
On my return home for Labor Day, I picked up a new digital camera. As soon as I figure out how to use it and download pictures; I will post some. As time permits I will offer a weekly post. It is great to have my computor running again.

A few words to ponder:
"We must go to this Child, this Man,
the Son of God, at whatever inconvenience,
at whatever risk to ourselves,
because to know and love him
will truly change our lives."

Pope John Paul II
Homily at Central Park, 1995

A reflection on this will come later.
