Dear Friends in Christ,

Plans for our 50th Anniversary continue to develop.  Msgr. Terrence Hogan and Chief Fred Maas have been named Honorary Chairs of the Alumni Reunion, representing priest and lay alumni. 

All events will take place at the seminary.  There is no charge for the reunion itself.  The only cost to alumni will be their own travel and lodging plans.  The events scheduled for the reunion include:
