U.S. SEMINARY CELEBRATES 150TH ANNIVERSARY


VATICAN CITY, MAR 1, 1999 (VIS) - A pilgrim group of superiors and students from St. Mary Seminary in Cleveland, U.S.A., currently in Rome as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the seminary's founding, was welcomed this morning to the Vatican by Pope John Paul.

"I hope that the prayer and meditation which accompany your pilgrimage," he told them, speaking English, "will bring you ever nearer to the Lord and strengthen your desire to be worthy priests and generous servants of the saving mysteries entrusted to his Church. May this meeting with the Successor of Peter help you to appreciate more fully the Church's universality and her catholic unity."
