My youngest brother-in-law, Tim, embarked upon his seminary adventure last week.  He’s now metriculating at Papal College Josephinum, located in Columbus, Ohio.  He’s written and called a few times.  He’s so far been very happy about the depth he’s experienced so far – the corporate liturgical prayer, like-mindedness of his classmates, and even the highly-structured schedule.  Mandatory study periods every evening, mandatory bedtimes, etc.  Perhaps I can talk him into squeezing a blog post in here every week or something.

Incidentally, he also mentioned he’s been printing out some of these blog posts and leaving them in common areas for other seminarians to read them.  Hopefully, this will get my readership up, and more importantly get some comment threads going.  I might develop a delusion of relevance as a Catholic blogger, you never know.

So, to you friendly folks at the Josephinum, welcome to the blog.  You’re already more qualified than I am….have at it.  If there’s an item of Catholic importance that needs airing, email me the link and I will look into posting about it.
