Fortunately, this seminary is in a new springtime of renewal. In the late 1960's and throughout the 70's the seminary staff and seminarians thought they/we were on the cutting edge of renewal. In fact it turned out to be just the opposite. But the Holy Spirit allowed the silly season to prepare us for the Reform of the Reform and a new springtime for the Church!
In August of 1976,when I was 22 years old, this is what I saw for the first time as I drove up to the seminary! Do you think I was impressed and intimidated?
Our magnificent seminary chapel, pews monastic choir style, as it was, never renovated:

Father, if memory serves, this is where your successor (albeit briefly) at Holy Trinity, Fr. Brett Brannen, is now the Vice-Rector, correct?
That gives me a good feeling.
to Kiwiinamerican, no Fr. Brett is serving at Mt. St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD about 60 miles from Baltimore.
Ahhhh....OK.....so many "Mt. St. Mary's".
Thank you.
