Students share their knowledge and love openly WE OPEN NEW DOORS At the Seminary we are constantly learning more about Christ, and are discovering how our faith in Him affects our lives. There is an abundance of knowledge to be found at the Seminary and the students are encour- aged to seek it by opening new doors of knowledge. Mathematics, sciences, languages, social studies, and fine arts provide us with a firm foundation for under- standing our world and our God. From day one until a seminarian ' s graduation, he is told by caring teachers that striving tor understanding is important. As each year passes, the seminarian grows in knowledge of different subjects, especially in the rea|iza |f, tion of his own vocation At Mass and during spiritual exercises we learn about and experience the living Christ taught to us in our religious studies. Our knowledge does not culminate upon leaving the Seminary, but becomes the foundation for future learning experiences in a life of service.

WE SHARE OUR LIVES A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure. (Sirach 6:14) Friends are the uniting force behind our Seminary community. Living away from home five days a week would be impossible if we could not depend on each other for support. We share a common ambition at Queen of Angels: to be open and receptive to the Father ' s will, and to pursue His calling. The Seminary spirit encourages us to grow as individuals and as a community. Relationships among seminarians are deepened by our common faith in Jesus Christ, who bonds our friendships in His love. The friends we makj at Queen of Angels become brothers to us. We share .our joys in good times and comfort each other -during times of sorrow. We share our very lives. At the serrtihary we realize that friends are a special gift from God ... we will cherish them forever. ■n
