Transalpine Redemptorists at home: May God bless and keep our seminarians!

I just received this link as an email from one of my good friends, J. FIVE seminarians left the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (F.SS.R.) on Papa Stronsay, Orkney, Scotland on August 4th in order to attend the Seminary of the Society of Saint Peter's (F.S.S.P.) in Denton, NE. The blog site indicates that the following Brothers: Br. Magdala Maria, F.SS.R., Br. Jean Marie, F.SS.R., Br. Yousef Marie, F.SS.R., Br. Martin Mary, F.SS.R., Br. Ivan Maria, F.SS.R... are very happy to announce that at the end of August they will be received by the Society of Saint Peter's seminary, in Denton, Nebraska. May God bless these young men on their journey to the priesthood ! Laus Deo!
