"O Father, light up the small duties of this day's life: May they shine with the beauty of Your countenance. May we believe that glory can dwell in the most common task of every day."

Blessed Augustine of Hippo

We made it...


well, we moved in...still have 3 years to go...Glory to God!
Campus is beautiful and the neighborhood is charming. NYC is overwhelming, yet loads of fun! So much to explore and take in.

Each seminarian family to the youngest couple have been a blessing and bring so much diversity and knowledge of the Faith. One would find it impossible to not connect and delve into community living.

I have little time even as I write but wanted to touch base. We are headed "home" this weekend after we pick up Colin and Hannah at the Antiochian Village. We have been so busy settling in that we hardly had time to absorb it all...I feel like I am in a dream. Everything has happened so swiftly. Although, I sobbed the entire way down last week Thursday...it was hard driving away from the house and the memories of friends and family lingering inside.


This is our new home: Lakeside 1 located at the top of the hill in the farthest corner on campus. We have a bottom spacious and private 3 bedroom apartment with a pleasant view of a lake while listening to the crickets, bullfrogs, ducks, swans and visiting bunny rabbits. It really is quit cozy...I have grown fondly accustomed to these sounds in the past week as we make this our new home for the next 3 years.
More photos to come when I have some extra time...please be patient with me and remember us in your God-pleasing prayers. Know that you all remain in ours!

How exciting. We just visited the seminary last December- my husband and I are both originally from NY. Best wishes to your family. I hope all is going well.
