No that is the same one, Concdeption Seminary is the college level seminary where a undergraduate degree is done. However priestly formation requires at least 6 years and a Masters level degree in Theology or European equivelent. Most left leanings or extreme conservative leanings come during the theology program years at a major or theological seminary.

Conception is a very orthodox and conservative institution and the monks there do wonderful work with their printing press. The Abbot has just finished a new translation of the Latin hours and I believe it has either just been approved or about to be approved by Rome.

Indeed. Thank you for clearing it up.

I must say orthodoxy and traditionalism comes with a price. A $32,000 a year one, in fact.

Or unless you are like me and your diocese pays for every year. Well, technically they don't. You take on a loan, and if you are ordained the diocese pays everything in full. If not, you pay for it. I would be willing to bet if you absolutely needed it they would help out with some of the debt, though.

And one day! I'm starting to get excited.

[PhuturePriest]

Well, I should probably start getting ready. I don't know what I should bring. Any ideas? I know a book or two because it's a seven hour or more trip there and back, but anything else?

[AnneLine]

You have a good time, Miles, and we'll be praying. Don't forget your toothbrush. Or hairbrush.

[i<3franciscans]

I know you are probably gone, but have a great time! I will be praying for you!

[Mary+Immaculate<3]

Miles, I can't believe I didn't show this to you earlier. I was lolling when I saw it:

I will be thinking of and praying for you as you go on this visit-trip. It is truly such a hard thing to discern what God wants of you when you are attracted to different vocations. The only advice I can find in my place to offer is pray. Just pray deeply, openly, soulfully, deliberately deny all of what is your will; abandon yourself for God. If you abandon your own will then you will be free, free to do His complete Will. Pray often and pray constantly. God bless. Pax tecum.
