This is getting more difficult to answer as many seminaries are now preparing men to say the Extraordinary Form including Mount Saint Mary's in Emmitsburg and many others. If someone wanted an exclusive training in the Extraordinary Form , this Seminary is where I'd start . Please check the Menu on the right side under Blogroll and Favorites . You will also find links to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest , Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem , Clear Creek Monastery , etc.

Some stories just make you smile ! I can assure Mr. Hilgenbrinck that he will love Mount Saint Mary's Seminary! May God be with him! I hope he checks out the "Men in Black 'hoops' team!" They are in need of fast shooting guards...

How does the Holy Spirit move in one's life? Well, let's take a scenario. Suppose someone, say a blogger, was watching a beautiful ordination of four priests on EWTN on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for several hours and then decided to check out the Catholic Review Online site for the latest column by H.E. Archbishop Edwin O'Brien. There, he finds a post in " Thoughts on Our Church " about...vocations ! I'd say that would qualify as a signal! I close with a challenge from the warm and reassuring words of Pope Benedict XVI to the youth at St. Joseph’s Seminary in New York: “Friends, again I ask you, what about today? What are you seeking? What is God whispering to you? The hope that never disappoints is Jesus Christ.” The challenge to each of you, especially to parents, is the same one I made to the students and staffs of the schools. I ask you to reflect on what we can do to encourage vocations, to help our young people to hear what God is

George P. Matysek, Jr. of Catholic Review Online has posted a great story on a new vocations website initiated by the Archdiocese of Baltimore . Here is a snippet of the article: The majority of men who contact the Archdiocese of Baltimore for information about the priesthood do it through e-mail. So it made sense for the archdiocese to have a top-notch Web site to be more proactive in reaching out to future priests through the World Wide Web, according to Father Gerard Francik, vocations director. The archdiocese has just launched a new Web site, www.becomeapriest.org , devoted to providing information about discernment, the priestly life and applying for the priesthood. The site replaces an older one that was much less interactive, Father Francik said. The new site features profiles of current seminarians, resources for discernment, advice for parents, prayers, links to men’s and women’s religious communities and video of seminarians talking about their vocation. Four seminarians –

Zenit carries a story on the thanks extended by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to Cardinal Vanhoye for the Lenten Spiritual Exercises the Cardinal prepared for the Roman Curia: [...] In his address Saturday, the Pope thanked the Jesuit cardinal, who had just offered the retreat's last meditation on the relationship between the ministerial priesthood and the priestly heart of Christ. At the beginning of his remarks, the Bishop of Rome used the image of Christ's washing of the feet to condense in a visual way Cardinal Vanhoye's reflections on the new elements of Christ's priesthood. "Through his meditations, this image spoke to me," the Pope said. "I saw that precisely here, in this conduct, in this act of extreme humility, the new priesthood of Jesus is realized. "And it is realized precisely in the act of solidarity with us, with our weaknesses, our sufferings, our trials, even death. The full story is here .
