The community began the day with a solemn concelebrated mass in the seminary chapel, presided over by the rector and joined by visiting priests from neighbouring Oblate communities. The homily reflected on St. Joseph's quiet diligence and steady faith as a model for those in formation.
A Day of Fellowship
Following the mass, seminarians and guests shared a festive buffet lunch on the seminary grounds. The afternoon continued with music, games, and time for fellowship between the junior seminarians, staff, and visiting families who had come to join the celebration.
The feast is one of several highlights in the seminary's liturgical calendar, marking a moment for the community to pause, give thanks, and renew its dedication to the Oblate charism of formation and mission.
Looking Ahead
The seminary community extends its gratitude to everyone who joined the celebrations and to the benefactors whose generosity made the day possible. Photos from the feast day are available in the gallery, with more celebrations to follow throughout the year.
