Rogation Mass update: We are pleased to report that last Saturday April 25, Rogation Day, that the Seminary priests were able to offer a Rogation Mass (which was instituted by our patron Pope St. Gregory the Great to respond to a plague during his time). We are thankful to the Seminary for being able to offer this.
