Mountain Echo: Mount celebrates traditional Latin Mass

Kala Garry posts an article in the "Mountain Echo"--the campus newspaper of Mount Saint Mary's in Emmitsburg, MD--on the Traditional Mass celebrated on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception as experienced from a "student's-eye" view. The article documents the experience of the Usus Antiquior from those who may never have seen one previously. While mostly unfamiliar with the EF, many Mount students joined the seminarians for the special celebration. Having grown up with the Norvus Ordo, most were lost between the quiet Latin prayers of the priest and the beautiful parts sung by the choir. Regardless, the reverence of the Mass brought many into a high form of worship. "It was an incredible experience," reflects sophomore Tricia Lester. "I don't even know how to put it into words. The reverence of the prayers and the solemness of the Mass gave me a deeper appreciation of the miracle that occurs at every Eucharist. Plus, the homily wa

The Mountain Echo: EWTN experiences the heart of the Mount

Katie Sechrist has posted a story on Mount Saint Mary's as the site for a series to be aired on EWTN next year . Monsignor Stuart Swetland will be the moderator on the 13-part series of thirty-minute TV shows. Here is a short snippet from her article: "I pitched the initial idea and I believed it was best to demonstrate the idea of campus with students on the stage, it gives a sense of the atmosphere. This will also enhance Catholic Identity...this can also be used for educational purposes," said Interim Chaplain Msgr. Stuart Swetland . Msgr. Swetland is in his fourth season of hosting shows on EWTN . A series consists of 13 different shows on a topic. The first was a mini-course Catholic Social Teaching, the second was Catholicism on Campus- Questions College Students Ask from the University of Illinois, and the third was a show on seminarians which is scheduled to air later this year. The fourth season which is filming this week is Ex Corde Ecclesiae . Please g

The Mountain Echo: Seminary life attracts students

The Mountain Echo is the campus newspaper for Mount Saint Mary's University . Mount Saint Mary's is fairly unique in being both a University and also the location of a major Seminary of the Archdiocese of Baltimore .

Monsignor Swetland emphasized the importance of forming priests that are well trained in the understanding of human nature. Each person gets further, beyond justice to mercy. Swetland also mentioned the process of intellectual formation that encompasses languages
