Seminarian app: More about life in the seminary

What is a seminarian? A man exploring his vocation and preparing for the priesthood. Today we have a short video which shows different aspects of what a seminarian does, it is from a series of clips by 'Brothers in Black'.

Recent seminarians at Lancaster Cathedral
Over Easter Andy Bulso who visited us last summer (post of Andy's first visit), returned to spend Holy Week at Lancaster Cathedral.  He joined parishioners to have his feet washed by Bishop Michael Campbell as a call to follow Jesus' call to serve one another.  He is currently training in the Pontifical North American College seminary in Rome.  
We also have Daniel Etienne who is studying in the English College who regularly served at the Cathedral whilst he was studying at Lancaster University. Please pray for all seminarians.


The last ordination at the Cathedral in Lancaster was of Fr John Millar.  During his training in the Allen Hall seminary in London,  he appeared in a television programme about life as a Catholics.  For a short clip of him practising giving a homily.
