On January 23rd, Seminarians from the west (Saint John, Camarillo, Saint John Vianney, Denver, Mount Angel, St. Benedict, Oregon, and Saint Patrick’s, Menlo Park) marched together for the Walk for Life West Coast. Together with a dedicated group from St. Patrick’s, we were able to host the guest seminarians. The guests arrived on Friday evening and after receiving a warm welcome from our president and rector, Fr. James McKearney, S.S., the seminarians joined together for dinner and Evening Prayer. It was a powerful experience for all of us that resulted in fellowship, fraternity and a renewed committment to the Church's stance on the dignity of the human person. Saturday morning began with Mass at the cathedral with the Archbishop. The photograph of the group above was taken moments after the Mass.
