Delightful, gentlemen! I was so honored to teach sacred music at St. Francis de Sales from 2012-2019. It's a wonderful place with wonderful faculty and students! May God bless you always!
“Sons of Thunder” bowling alley, love it. Praying for all you seminarians. In the east our father is St. John Chrysostom, my prayer for you is that you will be like the golden mouthed as you grow in holiness, and are trained up for ministry in the western lung of Christ’s Church.
Young men with a lot of enthusiasm. I hope this enthusiasm will continue when they become priests. When they become priests will faced many and strong challenges Study can give you knowledge. But experience can give you wisdom
Some of these young men have also appeared on another program to give a personal account of what has motivated them to become Seminarians and ordained priests, heartwarming genuine accounts of those who will be asked to minister to Parishes in these trouble times of terrible division and loss. As a non Catholic born, educated and now elderly here in Massachusetts a state with a traditional very large Catholic population now many lapsed I and many do a slow burn at the thought of these young men being sacrificed on the altar by the American Bishops Conference in their hand to hand battles with the Vatican Curiate, Pope Francis, and perhaps soon successor over doctrine and policy differences card game in which the Vatican holds aces and a royal flush hand. NO AMERICAN CARDINALS WILL BE NAMED AND AT 70 BISHOPS RETIREMENTS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTED and to ensure ecclesiastical policy is carried out to the letter perhaps NO PRIESTS WILL BE ORDAINED WITHOUT VATICAN APPROVAL. Our Cardinal O'Malley has struggled for twenty years to bring about reform and acceptance with little success. Recent programs on social media by Catholic Bishops et. al. are really giving LAST RIGHTS TO AMERICAN CATHOLICISM. WHAT A SHAME.
Well, I checked this seminary and Pius X Seminary in Virginia. I understand that St. Pius X is a traditional seminary and St. Francis is a more modern one. My thoughts are that st Francis is a secular seminary that doesn't prepare young celibate kids to face the strict and vigilant life of a priest who must survive a very difficult life as a celibate priest in a very secular and post Christian world. That's why there are so many failures in priestly vocations. On the other hand, St. Pius X seminary being very must focused on the strict and traditional formation of the priest, I believe that can give more spiritual strength and supplies to face the world we live in. I am not Roman Catholic btw
I must disagree with Ven. Sheen and the good seminarian about coffee, except for Monday’s when there is no Divine Liturgy at my parish, I don’t have coffee until after I’ve had the Eucharist. That’s usually not until 11 at the earliest. I’m up at 4:00 saying the prayers upon waking up and the matins, in the word by 4:45/5:00, then I pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy Lauds and the First hour, on the bus by 8:00, then at the church by 8:30 I pray the third hour followed by Divine Liturgy, then I have breakfast. Sunday’s I’m not having my first cup of coffee usually until the afternoon because the English Liturgy is at 11 (if I go to the Ukrainian I have it earlier).
soooooo awesome private this, private that, yall realize why there is a private bowling alley, and private etc, it is because they do not want the students out and about in the city if possible, not because they are too poor to have fun.
As a Catholic we could learn from Islam.. Why is it so that I noticed your prayer in the chapel you guys are standing all on your own. In Islam they stand shoulder to shoulder and pray as one entity and one voice to the God of Abraham. Let me know as to why they pray like that. I go to the mosque and pray with my brothers I love their zeal and hospitality. They sit on the floor and share a meal... exactly like Jesus. Very humbling.
Lmao. Stop it with that coexist crap you unintellectual hippie. allah is not the Christian God. allah is a demon that commands his followers to behead Christians and oppress women. Ask your "Muslim brothers" what jizya is. Ask them what's going on in Nigeria, Syria and afganistan. Ask them if they can answer any thing from David woods UA-cam channel. Islam is a fake demonic religion. Not the true religion of the one true God.
@@youcanthandlethetruth5433 As a Catholic in Australia the faith is no where like it in the world...It's a water downed version of Catholic Tradition and the Churchs former identity...

Christianity will most definitely fall like it had here in Australia.. It has no meaning no purpose . where at one time the church was vocal on many social issues and moral issues.

@@andrewmica1914 look, I respect your life story and you seem like a good bloke. But you can't just base your truth compass on 'what you feel'. You mentioned you were a charismatic. That is one downside of that tradition. The Bible warns us about 'feelings'. It says the heart is deceitful above all things. That is not to downplay the emotional or feelings side of things. God can definitely be felt and found in the realm of emotions. But that must be tempered with solid somber intellectual grit and proper theology. You're white most likely. So you wouldn't understand the mindset of a Muslim. You have been raised all your life in a society that is open, honest and tolerant. So when you see people give you love you do not suspect any foul play at all. But I am brown. I have had many Muslim friends over the years who did not know I was a Christian tell me "USA is the enemy" while they were studying in a western school. They will always be loyal to their religion first and everything else second. They would sell you out in a heartbeat. Maybe there are some good muslims out there who would be a true friend to you. But then they would be disobeying their Islamic teaching and putting you above it. Aka, they are not very 'good muslims'. A large part of the catholic world sucks yes, with liberal or gay clergy and lukewarm parishioners. But the answer is to clean house and find the few holy ones within the catholic church to support. Go to Latin masses which are generally more serious about their faith The answer is definitely not to run to an antithetical faith system for answers. An antithetical faith system which constantly tries to wipe out christianity from the face of the earth. That blast out "there is no God but allah" from loudspeakers in Bethlehem (yes I was there) that tried multiple times in history to overrun Christian Europe and enslave the populace. And which ran the largest slave empire and still do today. Watch the documentaries on the slavery in Qatar as they exploit people while getting ready for the 2022 world cup. If you need inspiration from the Arab culture, try to get it from Arab Christians braving the yoke of the Islamic state and all the persecution. Not from the lying frauds that are the Muslim apologists
I'm so glad that my day did not begin at 5:45 AM when I was a student at St. Francis Seminary in the 1960s. But I loved this place and my life there.
