I am celebrating tonight after receiving a letter saying I was accepted to the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, which is the campus on which is St. John Vianney Seminary. I now only need to be accepted by my diocese.

I'm one step closer!

PRAISED BE JESUS CHRIST AND HIS MOTHER! That's wonderful news! Our prayers go out to you as you take these steps closer :D

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SJV IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The vast majority of the best men I've ever met have been formed at SJV. This is an incredible blessing!

Prayers!

congrats I know several of the men at SJV. I have had classes with many of them.
It is really a great place.
what Diocese?

Excellent! Another for Sister Michael to look after, haha. Congratulations! Prayers.

Diocese of Joliet, IL

Congrats! One more holy priest!

You weren't accepted by SJV, you were accepted by St. Thomas, big difference.

I think there is an application for SJV that you will receive from your diocese upon acceptance. However if your diocese accepts you then the app for SJV won't be turned down it's more of a housekeeping thing like, "Where in the name of God are we going to house all these seminarians" kind of thing!

St. Benny, are you going to the retreat/ visit in February?

CONGRATULATIONS

I don't think he will be he was up there in November.

Eddy, not everything is about you. Let Benny answer for himslef.

First my name isn't spelt "Eddy", preferbly I go by Edward.

Secondly, SJV asks that you don't come a second time because they have so little space. We slept on the floors of seminarians rooms. They are crunched for space and invite those who haven't been there.

So it might now be all about me, I'm just stating what SJV is all about.
