IN WISDOM end of all learning is to know God, and out of knowledge to love and imitate him. -Milton To learn, a student must be willing to take chal- lenges from his instructors. Queen of Angels is a college preparatory school which meets the aca- demic requirements of St. John ' s Seminary Col- lege and the University of California. With small classes and a dedicated faculty of lay men and women, nuns, and priests, students are given close attention. The curriculum contains classes in science, math, English, languages, religion, histo- ry, fine arts, and physical education. A student learns to know God if he possesses knowledge about all of His creation. The skills acquired in his own education would be used, as a priest, to challenge others to know Christ more, because he has himself accepted God ' s challenge to come closer to Him. A seminarian learns in many ways besides in the classroom. He learns to appreciate what God has done for him and what God has given him. Seminarians learn to work as one family of God, each with a different function. Students tutor and help their brothers understand concepts which are difficult to grasp. Everything he learns teaches the seminarian to appreciate God, the world around him, friends, family, and teachers. A student searching for his vocation is a student who wants to learn. He longs to know more about God, and with increased knowledge comes love and the desire to imitate God. il 1. Shared knowledge is the path to good academic achievements and true friendships. 2.

E ARE ALL GOD ' S FAMILY t v J Family and the love that grows there are two of the most powerful forces on earth. It is God who empowers and strengthens them to enrich our lives. These forces permit us to become all that our individual skills and the grace of God permit us to be. Who are family to us at Queen of Angels? It is our blessing to have many forms of family to surround us. Some students come here following an older brother or brothers, so their own family begins their seminary brotherhood. This broth- erhood is a bond of love nourished by the Spirit to support and sustain us. It extends from stu- dent to teacher to all those who help at Queen of Angels; it reaches across the miles to Camarillo, and to all those in the archdiocese who support and pray for us; it reaches as far back in time as the first OLQA students in the fifties; it stretch- es arms of love to all those in the Church who our future priests will help, inspire, and guide. As our family grows so grows the love. Jesus once said that all men and women are brothers and sisters, but still we ask how this is possible. The answer is quite simple, really. God, the author of love and the creator of life, makes family through Christ.
