Corey Nelson, Welcome to Kenrick

Recently Corey Nelson, a Bismarck Diocese college seminarian studying at Cardinal Muench Seminary in Fargo, flew down to Saint Louis for his interviews here at Kenrick Seminary, where he will be attending for graduate studies beginning in the fall. While he was here in Saint Louis, us Bismarck seminarians tried to show him a bit of Saint Louis. In this picture are, from left to right, Deacon Russ Kovash, Thomas Grafsgaard, Corey Nelson, Jason Signalness, Matthew Wanner, and Kregg Hochhalter.

While touring the city with Corey, we stopped at the St Francis de Sales Oratory in South Saint Louis. It is a very beautiful parish, called the "Cathedral of South Saint Louis." The Oratory is run by the Institute of Christ the King. For more info, visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/stlouis/.

And, of course, no tour to St Louis would be complete without a trip up the Arch.

This is Corey as we ride up to the top of the Arch in the tiny space-capsule-like elevator/amusement ride.

This is Deacon (soon to be Father) Russ Kovash checking out the view from the top.

We look forward to studying with Corey next year. He will be graduating from college soon and beginning his graduate studies with us next year.
