Below are photos from the procession and Mass for the Major Rogation Day at the seminary, complete with a blessing of our humble orchard and garden.
We ended the 2022-2023 academic year with the ordination of three of our deacons to the priesthood. The officiating celebrant was His Excellency, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, whom we thank for assisting us again. It was a wonderful ceremony and an exciting day. We appreciate all those who assisted in the celebration of Holy Mass, and also all who attended and helped to celebrate the joyful occasion. Please pray for our new priests!
The newly-ordained priests are:
Gaudete, quoniam Christus est natus!
From the liturgies of Christmas day at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary!
It’s one of the biggest days of the year for us here at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary! We enjoyed the annual festivities—our Lady’s altar decorated with beautiful bouquets of flowers; Marian hymns sung late into the night the eve of the feast; a lovely Solemn High Mass the morning of; Pontifical Vespers with Bishop Conley and the seminarians of Saint Greg’s in the evening; and, to top it all off, a fiesta complete with tacos, a mariachi band, and a piñata.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of our seminary & Patroness of the Americas, pray for us.
We celebrated a wonderful Solemn High Mass at the the Carmel for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Mary Immaculate, Patroness of The United States of America, pray for us.
Gloriósa dicta sunt de te, María:
(Communion from today’s Mass)
quia fecit tibi magna qui potens est.

Glorious things are told of thee, O Mary,
for He Who is mighty has done great things unto thee.
