Although several days have passed since our Diaconate Ordination, the joy of this profound milestone continues to resonate throughout the College community. Bishop Robert Barron ordained eighteen of our fourth-year seminarians to the transitional diaconate at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter’s Basilica. Please keep these new deacons in your prayers as they complete their final year of formation and prepare for priestly ordination next spring.

It's Diaconate Ordination Week! On Thursday, October 1st, eighteen of our Fourth-Year men will be ordained to the diaconate in St. Peter's Basilica by Most Rev. Robert Baron. Hundreds of family members, friends, and College alumni have traveled to Rome to help celebrate this milestone occasion. On Sunday, family members joined the College community for Holy Mass, followed by a reception. Please keep our ordinandi and these pilgrims in prayer, and stay tuned for more images.

Our Fourth-Year Seminarians took another joyful step toward Ordination to the Diaconate this past weekend, publicly making their Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity before the College community. Please continue to keep these men in your prayers as they prepare to give their lives more fully in service to Christ and His Church.

Our 1st- and 2nd-year seminarians recently joined the formation faculty for a festive Welcome Banquet, and our 3rd- and 4th-year men have now returned to Rome as well. With the full house back together, the coming weeks are filled with formation workshops, retreats, classes, prayer, and fraternity—all leading up to the start of theology classes in early October.

Orientation this past week has included quite a bit of "class time": Italian language lessons and workshops on the four dimensions of priestly formation. The seminarians also toured the Vatican Necropolis (Scavi) and the Swiss Guard Barracks. The Class of 2030 will spend the weekend in Assisi on pilgrimage. Please continue to pray for them!

New Man Orientation continues! Recent days have been filled with meetings, language testing, fraternity, prayer, and a little recreation. But the real highlight has been two special visits to St. Peter’s Basilica.

The New Men toured the Basilica, celebrated Holy Mass at the Tomb of St. Peter, and attended the Sunday Angelus, where Pope Leo XIV greeted them from his window. Best of all, they had the extraordinary opportunity for a private audience with the Holy Father. Watch for photos from that special visit coming soon!

21/08/2026

Orientation 2026 has officially begun. All members of the Class of 2030 arrived on campus and were greeted by the rector, Msgr. Thomas Powers. After a busy day of unpacking and touring the campus, the New Men participated in the traditional welcome: the "Clap-In" and Holy Mass.
