Ego vos elegi

Thoughts from a St. Louis seminarian

Adveniat Regnum Tuum!

Back from Vacation

I've taken a bit of a hiatus in blogging since the end of the academic year.  In that time I attended many ordinations of fellow Kenrick students, witnessed the eye-popping four-hour-long ordinations in the Classical Roman Rite performed by Archbishop Burke in our cathedral, and spent a week studying chant and immersing myself in monastic liturgy at the great French abbey of Solesmes.  I am now happily embarked on the third week of my summer assignment as deacon at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque parish in south St. Louis County (pictured below).  It is a large and very vibrant suburban parish, served by three priests and two permanent deacons, in addition to myself, and I have been very happy to finally embark upon ordained ministry in a parish setting. 

As the summer months are fairly slow going, I will hopefully be able to post with a little more frequency over the weeks to come.
