Seminary Tour

I hoped to post pictures back on the 12th of September. But my schedule didn't really allow time for dealing with the camera. So today I took a few pictures of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, where I am currently living, for your enjoyment.

This is one of the angels in the stained glass windows near the main entrance.

Here you see the main entrance area.

This is a view of the front of the seminary building. My room is one of the windows way to the left, on the third floor.

Here's a courtyard on the back side of the building.

Along a walking path through the trees, there is a very nice grotto to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It's a very peaceful place to pray, even at night when it is lit up nicely.

This is sometimes called the "hall of bishops" because of the portraits of bishops that line the wall. It leads to the Saint Joseph Chapel, the main chapel for the school of theology. I pass through this hall several times a day.

This is a view of the Saint Joseph Chapel from the choir loft. The late afternoon sun shines in and lights it up very nicely - just in time for Evening Prayer each day.

You will find me in this smaller chapel, the Mary Mother of the Word Chapel, at about six o'clock each weekday morning. This is where I prefer to spend time in personal prayer.

The pictures didn't turn out that well, but they give you an idea of what this place is like.
