Seminary tour planned, youth/parents invited

On Sunday, February 4, 2007, the New Ulm Diocesan Office of Vocations will be offering a unique opportunity - a seminary tour specially for the Diocese of New Ulm. Young men (sophomores, juniors, seniors) and their parents are invited to tour Saint John Vianney College Seminary in St. Paul, MN.

Saint John Vianney College Seminary is located on the campus of the University of Saint Thomas, near the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Paul.

This special seminary tour will begin at 1:30 p.m., with a meal along the way. Fr. William Baer, rector of the seminary, along with seminarians of the Diocese of New Ulm, as well as other seminarians, will offer tours of the seminary building and the Campus of St. Thomas.

Bishop John C. Nienstedt will offer Mass for all in attendance at 3:30 p.m. followed by a supper.

Departure for home will be around 5:00 p.m. with the hope to be home by half-time of the Super Bowl!

Bus transportation will be provided, with several pick-up and drop-off sites to be planned. One confirmed pick-up location will be at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm at about 10:30 a.m.
