New Seminary Travel-Log

A couple of weeks ago, the boys and I took a quick trip to Virginia to see the progress of the new FSSPX Seminary, witness the Consecration of the Bells (made by Paccard, a French family in the bell making business since the late 1700s) and the Blessing of the Cornerstone.  We were treated to a Pontifical High Mass, a conference from H.E. Bishop Bernard Fellay, and a tour of the construction site.  It was all quite a sight to behold.  A seminary of this architecture and scale has not been built in the United States for over a century.  It represents a great hope.

The bells that will eventually live in the bell tower of the semniary marking the liturgical rhythm of the day in addition to the class schedule.  Bell 1: Marie Joseph.  Bell 2: Thomas.



H.E. is presented with a gift in homor of the jubilee of his Episcopal Consecration

Well, a bell of course!
