A New School Year with New Leadership

We officially welcomed Fr. Brendan Moss, O.S.B. (St. Meinrad Archabbey) and Fr. Pat York (Diocese of Wichita) to the Conception Seminary community.  Fr. Brendan was installed as President-Rector in a very beautiful and joyful ceremony on Sunday.  He was joined by family, friends, monastic confreres of St. Meinrad, and the Conception community.  Fr. Pat takes over as Vice-Rector and Dean of Students.

I made a couple fun videos of each of the priests so that everyone can get to hear some of their interests and responses.  Check out these two videos!

Below:  Sunday’s celebrate began with Eucharist with Fr. Brendan presiding and preaching.  He took the Oath of Fidelity at Mass.

After Mass, all gathered for a festive banquet meal.

After the banquet, there was the opportunity for guests and benefactors to take a tour of the seminary residence floors.  The Inauguration, which included an academic procession, took place at 1:30 PM.
