The Annual Seminary Family Weekend was held October 19-21. One-hundred twenty family members, from as far away as Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Vermont, Georgia and Florida, attended the events.  In addition, 19 of the seminary’s 32 sending dioceses were represented. The purpose of the weekend is to provide family members with the opportunity to learn more about a seminarian’s journey in preparation for the priesthood.  Faculty presentations focused on the academic program, spiritual life, human formation, pastoral field education and seminary life.
