Thanksgiving at the Seminary: November 23rd, 2023

From Thanksgiving Day at OLGS! After yet another annual “Buckley Bowl,” the seminarians enjoyed a beautiful thanksgiving meal together. Many thanks to all of our benefactors for making this a reality – may God reward you for all that you do for our seminary!

Rorate Caeli: December 9th, 2023

Rorate Caeli: December 9th, 2023

The Rorate Caeli Mass is uniquely beautiful, being candlelit and just before the crack of dawn. What an appropriate way to prepare for the coming of the Son of God.

Rorate, caeli, desuper, et nubes pluant justum, aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem.

Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened and bud forth a Savior.

Advent began with the lovely tradition of the 40 Hours Devotion. We ushered in the liturgical New Year with hours before the Blessed Sacrament, a Eucharistic procession, and a Solemn High Mass.
