The new seminarians arrived at Allen Hall on Friday 8th September for an induction weekend, for a chance to settle in and familiarise themselves with the seminary, before the rest of the students came back on Sunday evening to begin the new year by singing Solemn Vespers and then enjoying supper together. There are new students from the dioceses of Westminster, Southwark, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Liverpool, Hexham & Newcastle, and Aberdeen, as well as for the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. As lectures begin, we look forward to welcoming new students from religious orders.
Please pray for everyone at the seminary, especially the new men, for a holy, happy, and fruitful year.
Our Lady, Queen of the Clergy, St Joseph, and St Thomas More: pray for us!
