MARCH 2013

Beginning of Academic Year

The academic year 2013 here at Holy Cross began with two retreats preached by USA District Superior Rev. Fr. Arnaud Rostand. During the week of March 4, he preached a retreat to 8 returning seminarians and 2 priests on the spirituality of St. Teresa of Avila. The following week, an Ignatian retreat was given to 4 returning seminarians, 4 new seminarians, and one priest.

JANUARY 2013

Month of Retreats

The new year always begins at Holy Cross with a series of retreats. The Seminary, being situated out in the bush, away from the buzz of city life, and providing ample space for retreatants, both in its buildings and in its walking area, is ideal for a week of recollected prayer. Thus, the first Monday of January saw 31 women arrive for a 5 day Ignatian retreat, then on the 14th, 15 priests came for a retreat on the Holy Ghost preached by former District Superior Fr. Edward Black. Finally, at the end of the month, Frs. Robinson and Curtis preached the 5 day Spiritual Exercises to 30 men.
