Calilornia rM5 (818) ' 361-0187 WE ADE ONE IN THE PIDIT In the seminary, we are one in tiie Spirit. We are united tlirougti a special bond of unity. Tfiere is a strong sense of brotiiertiood be- cause we tiave all come here with a common goal, to search out our vo- cation in life. The seminary offers an environment where one can grow and mature. Here, we are always welcome to seek the counsel of the priests, teachers or fellow seminarians. There is always time to be alone to think and be with Christ. Prayer is the center of our daily lives. We pray together and work together. Queen of Angels is a special place where we can grow through the good times and the bad times, learning from our mistakes. 2 General Overview WHAT WE ADE ABOUT . What are we about here in the seminary? The seminary is a high school where we go to seel out our vocation in life with a present interest in the priesthood. With the support and guid- ance of the Holy Spirit, we may find the path of life which Christ has chosen for us. While seeking out our vocation, we also dis- cover our true selves. The seminary presents a spiritual and intel- lectual environment which enables us to grow. Through a daily program of prayer, study, and recreation, we are given the op- portunity to change our lives for the better. Our day begins and ends in the chapel, and the center of our lives is the time we spend at Mass just before noon. Between these intervals in the chapel we go to class, study, and recreate. Recreation consists of sports and freetime after dinner and study period. Classes are held throughout the day, with our first four periods in the morning and three more periods in the afternoon. General Overview 3 THDOUGH vnmn Our Communion with God Prayer is a vital part of a seminarian ' s life. The time we spend in prayer with Christ influences our relationships within the seminary. The spiritual program here at the seminary is structured in such a way that it helps us to develop strong Chris- tian values which will be beneficial in the years to come. We begin our day by spending fifteen min- utes in chapel, and ask The Lord for guid- ance and protection throughout the day. The focal point of the day is our celebration of the sacrifice of the Mass. During these forty-five minutes of praise and thanksgiv- ing we come closer to our Lord. The Eucha- rist we receive gives us the grace to be more like Jesus. 4 Spiritual Life We gather at 5:25 P.M. in chapel to say the rosary, and read our spiri- tual books. During our evening prayers we review our day, give thanks to the Lord and ask for God ' s blessing. Through many different experiences In prayer, we discover Christ and the call he gives to all of us. In the midst of this world ' s challenges, we pray and ask for the Lord ' s wisdom to be witnesses in Christ ' s light. It Is His love we discover. Spiritual Life 5 WE GQCm THDOUGH THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE As seminarians tiere at Queen of Angels, we are constantly growing in the Spirit through the gift of knowledge. A major factor in intellectual growth is personal incen- tive which is stressed throughout our semi- nary program. Our well-rounded curriculum provides an excellent background of college- preparatory subjects which meet the aca- demic requirements of St. John ' s Seminary as well as all California universities. With our dedicated faculty, we are sure to receive the best possible education while growing in the grace of God. Our curriculum consists of four years of mathematics, four years of English, four years of science, computer literacy, four years of religion, four years of foreign lan- guages, three years of social studies, two years of fine art, and physical education. Oth- er courses such as speech and drama enable us to develop the ability to spread the Word of God in our daily lives. At Queen of Angels our studies do not end in the classroom, but are a foundation of what lies ahead. Our acquired skills enable us to listen and learn while in search of our voca- tion. 6 Academics AcademiGS 7 OLQA SPODTS: QUALITY AND VADIATION % ■|H| BHHB| m gmmgm .

It consists of over twenty sports, introduced and played at differ- ent times throughout the school year. Some of the sports are football, basketball, Softball, ten- nis and handball. Through this program we strenghthen our brotherhood with each other and learn the value of teamwork among our peers. By participating in the athletic program, our thirst for competition is satisfied. The semi- nary also fields a CIF baseball team under the direction of Mr. Tom Coady. Each week an award is given to the Sportsman of the Week, the individual who has shown examples of sportsmanlike conduct and skillful performance on the field. The athletic program has become an important daily activity in the seminary. With the support of enthusiastic participants and under the guid- ance of a hardworking sports director. Mr. Mike Crowley, the program is a solid and ever-grow- ing part of seminary life. (Sports 9 UNITY IN FUN At Our Lady Queen of the Angels Seminary, brothertiood is an impor- tant virtue. We live with each other, pray together, and grow together. We are united with each other in many ways, and come together through the varied activi- ties of our school. The activities here range from honoring Jesus ' mother on l ary ' s Day to working with each other on weekend retreats pre- senting the seminary to young men who think they may have a vocation. These ac- tivities help us see God ' s goodness in all people and inspire us to interact with oth- ers. In every activity we become closer with our brother seminarians, and discov- er more about ourselves, the world, and the Lord. Other activities in the seminary include Gaudeamus (a night of fun and laughter), the Jog-A-Thon (our annual fund-raiser), Serra Club barbecues, and field trips where our knowledge of the world is ex- panded. These activities are an integral part of our life, without which we could not grow. 10 Activities ACTIVITIEcS BDING m TOGETHED ActiviticcS 1 1 EDVING IN THE NAME Of THE LODD As we grow through the years in the seminary, we learn that it is greater to serve than to be served. As seminarians, this is the highest goal we can attain. Through service, we become one in the Spirit of Christ who in return gives us the strength and perseverance to discern our vocations. Here we are servants to each other. We serve our brothers by listening to them while sharing in the trials and hurts of our own lives. Over the years we have learned much about Christ ' s love through ser- vice and we strive to live that love to its fullest. We incorporate service in each of our daily lives. Each student has a responsibility and chore which bring forth a spirit of generosity and excellence. Each week our seniors teach religion while others visit the sick and those in detention camps. All of these experiences help us to follow in the footsteps of Christ. Through service we bec ome aware of the Lord ' s presence in our lives. Through our actions we pro- claim the Lord and discover the needs of his people. ' ' If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives. 12 Service M ■ ■ % 1 3 Br iH H H ' H p .isL Service 13 Michael Van Vooren, Senior Holy Innocents Parish Long Beach In retrospect, I remember being intro- duced in the 7th grade to the seminary and what a vocation was. I was inspired to attend the seminary through a weekend re- treat, during which I enjoyed being a part of this brotherhood. I wanted to learn more about my vocation, and grow and understand Christ more spiritually than I had before. Even before entering the seminary, I was pressured by my friends not to go. This pres- sure was ultimately overcome by the help of my associate pastor, Fr. Arwyn Diesta. He was, in a sense, the invitation that God sent to me, calling me to the seminary. He was the one who gave me the extra push which led me to give the seminary a try. Be- cause of his help and example throughout my four years here at Queen of Angels I have grown more interested in the priesthood. I do not know if I will be a priest, only God knows, but seminary life seems very appeal- ing to me. One idea which I think about often was told to me by Fr. Arwyn, (Michael, do not worry too much. God always provides for His seminarians. This idea has been very true in my four years at the seminary. WE ADE HEDE TO (SEARCH EOD THE LODD ' 6 WILL Joe Velasquez, Junior Santa Clara Parish Oxnard I never considered my vocation until I was in the seventh grade. I became involved in the parish, going to Sunday Mass and to prayer groups and Bible studies. Both the priests and parishioners encouraged and in- spired me to become more involved in the parish. While I was in the eighth grade, I heard of Queen of Angels Seminary and how they were having a weekend retreat. I went, I liked it, I took the test, and thank God I passed! My vocation is being kept fresh and alive while being here in the seminary. 14 Vocation Stories .. Ver Lores to, Junior St. Mary Magdalen Parish Camarlllo I can remember being rowdy and being kicked out of CCD classes and then put into the main office where a priest, Fr. Louie, asked me if I wanted to be an altar boy. Before I knew it, I was involved in choir, chil- dren liturgical meetings, and daily rosaries. One of the nuns, noticing my involvement, asked me to make a weekend retreat at Queen of Angels. I had no idea it was a semi- nary. I thought of becoming a priest before, but who takes you seriously in the seventh grade? I enjoyed the retreat totally - the at- mosphere, the spirit, the devotion, and the whole idea of my life centered around God ' s life. I decided right then and there that Queen of Angels was it. I ' m on my way. Shaun D. Strong, Senior St. Gregory ' s Parish Los Angeles I can still remember those critical weeks before graduating from elementary school. My parents, relatives, and friends all seemed to have a stake in my future. They did all they could to guide me in the right direction. Ultimately it was something which I had to decide for myself. The only thing that made a lasting impression was the group of young men whom I had encountered at Our Lady, Queen of the Angels Seminary on a weekend retreat. It was their own personal experience of God that was exemplified in their treatment of one another. I was aware of something quite rare and in short supply in our existing world. It was fraternity. This and my own desire for the priesthood were the foundations of my developing vocation. After many hours of prayer, accompanied by strug- gle and heartache, my heart and my God led me to this place. And thus the story begins to unfold. Vocation (5)torie s 15 AN INVITATION TO DI COVED CHDI T hen we seminarians are asked why we came to I the seminary, most of us would respond by say- ing that we were Impressed by what we saw on a weekend retreat. For us. the weekend retreat was the best way to experience the spiritual, social, and athletic aspects of the seminarian s life. The retreat was led by seminarians, starting on Saturday morning and concluding with Sun- day l lass. Come And 6ee We had an opportunity to come closer to the Lord during this retreat. We had time for quiet prayer and a chance to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. By making posters and participating In the liturgy we learned more about the Mass and per- formed skits based on the parables. Besides all these activities, we watched movies, shared in discussions, and partici- pated In volleyball, basketball, soccer, or football. The most Important part of the retreat was the opportunity to know the seminarians and be Influenced by them. Most of us were glad we came. 6 Weekend DeLreaL Visiting different nations of thje world lias been a major objective of ttie Holy Fattier, Pope Jotin Paul II. by visiting the many nations of the world the Pope has been able to learn much about God ' s people. As planned, the Pope will visit the U.S.. and will have a conference meeting with all the American Bishops here at the seminary. We look forward to the Holy Father ' s visit.

It is through these sis- ters that we gain communication and composition skills. Both of them recognize the need for seminarians with excel- lent linguistic skills. They hope we can analyze, think and share our ideas with others. Through love and dedication, these sisters also help promote a strong literary foundation. OUR ENGLISH PROGRAM Here, we stress that English is of primary importance. During freshman year, we learn the fundamentals of gram- mar, enrich our usage of vocabulary and study the basic concepts of literature. In sophomore year, we practice our skills in literary composition and learn more about various forms of literature while expanding our intellectual knowl- edge in vocabulary. During junior and senior years we exper- ience the great works in American and British Literature. This page is sponsored by Wittier Young Co. (LA.) 22 Faculty At Queen of Angels, we are given the opportunity to learn an extra language ottier ttian Englishi and our own native languages. The foreign language department is a major part of the seminary curriculum. The two lan- guages available for study are Spanish and Latin. Spanish is taken by everyone in the first two years, during which Spanish grammar, vocabulary and colloquial expressions are introduced and practiced. During junior and senior years Spanish is taken by those students who are truly interested in the language. Those students put into practice all the knowledge they have acquired in reading, composition and dialogue. Latin is also offered to the third and fourth year stu- dents. In studying Latin, we increase our understanding of the English language. In the first year, vocabulary and grammar are stressed. Second year Latin requires a greater dedication in which a comprehensive under- standing of the language is achieved. 1.

Our science department consists of two main labs, one being specified for cfiemistry, the other for biology. Also there are smaller rooms which are used for the computer literacy class. The science department begins freshman year with physical and gen- eral science. As sophomores we be- come acquainted with the basic prin- ciples of biology. Here we learn more about the various parts of the body while working with specimens in the lab. In junior year, we study modern theories of chemistry in which much time is spent in experimentation through lab work. If we so choose, we may take physics in our senior year. This class deals with the relationships between matter and energy. It is through the sciences that we become more aware of the environment in which we live.

Richard Black St. Catherine of Siena Parish Reseda The story of my life is that of great improvement. I owe a great deal of thanks to those who were there in my good and bad times. People such as Bishop Ziemann, who always had a way of challenging me to improve myself constantly. Sister Leo Francis, who had me learn not only the importance of math and computers but also helped me to use my head and think before I react. Mr. Jim Squires who taught me Algebra II, Math IV, and many other math courses. Math IV is an extremely challenging subject and it takes a lot of patience to teach that co urse, especially if I am one of the students.

They have been a short four years with many ups and downs. I can never repay this school for all it has given me. I have grown not only physically, and academically, but also spiritually. All this growth has come about thanks to the sup- port and love of so many peo- ple: my family whom I dearly love, all the members of the class of ' 87, the faculty, and my close friends.

When I first came to the seminary, I felt for the first time that this is where I was meant to be. Before I came to Queen of Angels, I was unsure of my life; I felt that something was missing. My spiritual outlook in life was bleak and God was not all that important. I had thought of the priesthood long before I knew that there was such a thing as a high school seminary. My life at the seminary has been a wonderful one. My love for the Lord has grown and with it so has my love for people. The seminary has put me in touch with love around me.

They show this by participating in student-faculty games and by being friends with us. If we had any problems we went to them at almost any time and talked to them about it. I think of these times as things that have just happened, but because of the love that is put behind them, that makes us not just friends, but a family. William Lewis St. Lucy Parish Los Angeles Javier Lopez Resurrection Parish Los Angeles As my last year flies by. I would like to thank Queen of Angels for help- ing me grow spiritually and phys- ically. Coming to this school built my re- lationship towards God. The most important aspect was brother- hood. Brotherhood helped me in mthe time of depression. When I needed someone to talk to. some- one was always there by my side especially my best friend. Jesus Christ. Our freshman year was the toughest. It took us two years to get fully united. Now as seniors, we got spirit, we have pride in our- selves. I would like to thank the senior class for accepting me for who I am. We all had good times together. I will never forget those good times. Thank you Bishop Zie- mann for having time for me. and also Fr. Steve. The people that made it possible for me are my parents. I love them very much be- cause they sacrifice all their time to bring me here. Goodbye everyone!

Other ships were blown and battered, Other ships were sole distressed. But the winds that seemed to drive them, Brought to us a peace and rest. And I think of other mornings.

We know that God makes all things work together for the good of those who have been called according to his decrees. (Rom. 8:26-29) That moment when I first set my feet inside the front door of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels, I didn ' t know what to expect from this institution. That was three years ago and sometimes I ask myself, where have those years gone? Now, time is running out. Every joyful moment as well as every pensive feeling rushes back in memory. I owe it all to the Lord and in a special way to each and every one who stood so close by me when I was in my deepest conditions. I especially thank my uncle I love you very much my aunt, and all of my family. I thank you. the faculty and staff of OLQA, especially Bishop Ziemann, Msgr.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where It bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. -ROBERT FROST 42 (Seniors ALWAYS CLOSE IN SPIRIT First of all I would like to thank all my classmates, especially Vy. K.W.. and Tim.

It seems only yesterday I walked through the front doors as a freshman, and now I leave as a senior. During my four years here I learned a valuable lesson I will treasure for the rest of my life. A lesson of accepting responsibility. I know I could not achieve this lesson without the support of priests, faculty, and students. The ones who deserve all the credit are the ones who supported me, gave me advice on accepting re- sponsibilities, and accepting any deci- sion I made; my family and friends, es- pecially my parents! So I thank you, Dad and Mom, for listening, support- ing, caring, and loving me throughout my four years, here at Our Lady, ' Queen of the Angels Seminary. Your brother in Christ, I want to say thanks to every- one here at Queen of Angels for all the fun and the good times we shared together. Now that I can look back on it all, I can truly say, Those were the best four years of my life. To all my friends in the class of ' 88, thanks, you were great and I. will miss you a lot. As for my little brothers in the freshman class, I will miss each one of you because you were very special to me in my final year here at OLQA. I would also like to give special thanks to Bishop Ziemann and Msgr. Cokus for giving me plenty of support when I was struggling with my classes. Queen of Angels really meant a lot to me.

I suppose that it is about time that I hung up my black and whites and said good-bye to these hallowed halls that I have called home for the past four years of my life. A home where if I had not found so many lasting and true friends, would have been only a brief moment in my life. But as it turns out, there were many warm friends to be found within the cold exterior of the seminary. Forever in my mind will be the long talks with my classmates, straightening out my problems. This school really allowed me to grow and straighten out my problems for whatever I am to experience in the fu- ture. Thanks for everything, guys. I ' ll never ' forget you. Love.

We who honor friendship, love, dignity, and school spirit try our best to pursue the true meaning of brotherhood. We are not a group of individuals but one In Christ. We acknowledge our faults and our prejudices which we will abolish. We have come together, each unique in talents, but together we are one. We believe that we should unite our class through communication, and through cooperation. We promise to try to work with each other and be patient with each other.

Words To Sum Up Junior Year: Junior year was a great year for me. Since I am an upper classman. I myself tried to set a good exam- ple for the freshmen. It was a challenge because I had to say and do the right things, even though I sometimes failed. Junior year is like a Vice- President to the Presi- dent. Every junior has to be ready to take the sen- ior ' s place when they gra- duate just as the Vice- President takes the Presi- dent ' s place when some- thing goes wrong. A Junior has to lead the school in setting good example and must also prepare for sen- ior year. A junior has to be supportive to the seniors just as the Vice-President is to the President. A ju- nior may accomplish this by supporting the senior class in any way possible.

Of course, a friend has those qualities, yet not only that. A friend is a person who knows you as well as you know yourself. That person holds part of you within the heart and mind. One who will never make you choose between your friendship and anything else. I hold these truths to all of my friends. Furthermore, a friend will tell you when you are acting foolish, out of line, or talking with- out thinking. They will not be afraid to lose the bond of friendship to simply point out that one was wrong.

In fact, in an average school, one may go through four years of high school and not know two-thirds of the people they pass in hall- ways. For those you would see in class, a monotonous exchange of hi! and bye! would be the depth of a relationship. Though some relationships extend into a more personal level in other schools, our school has taken steps to break past the stages of a first name basis. To go further, my class openly accepts, consoles, trusts, and understands each other as brothers. Our spirit IS not voiced aloud, but rather in personal relationships and prayer.

The challenge is issued to us in three ways: first is to do the best as possi- ble in our academics, second is to take on our new responsibilities and do them in the virtue of humility, and third IS to develop our spiritual life. In order to do the best possible in our academics we must devote ourselves to our studies and our classes. We take seven periods of class and they include: Religion II. English II, biology, geometry, music, typing, art. com- puter literacy, and driver ' s education. Many of these classes are very chal- lenging and we need to spend a lot of time studying and preparing for them. Taking these classes will pre- pare us to accept the obstacles of life that come our way. Being a sophomore makes you one of the older person in this school, there- fore, we are given responsibilities to do. These responsibilities teach us to take our work seriously and they help us form a good self image. To develop a good spiritual life is the goal of every student that comes to the seminary. As each year goes on, we gradually develop our spiritual life by getting involved in other spiritual activities. All of these challenges will better prepare us for the future after the seminary, whatever it may be. 1 . J Titinga and H. Sanchez are preparing to serve for IVIass. 2. T. Sanchez 3.

Each one of us is given a different Job and we are asked to do them with the spirit of humility and generosity. All sophomores are asked to wait on tables during meal times. Waiting usually involves taking the food off carts and taking it to your table. Sometimes we are asked to go around and ask for extra food from the other tables. This job enables us to develop our virtues of humility and generosity. All juniors, sophomores and freshmen are given a work order to do after school on Wednes- day, t ost of the time juniors are in charge but sometimes sophomores are put in charge and asked to tell the other students what to do. When we are put in charge we have to be able to maintain order and this takes a good deal of effort when you have many different things going on at the same time. Being put in charge enables us to learn to take our responsibilities seriously. Doing all these things helps us to develop as responsible leaders. Anthony Amaya This page sponsored by Theodor C.

Everyone is given a chance to develop his spiritual life and grow closer to Christ. We are given this chance by serving at Mass and leading a decade of the Rosary several times during the week. As sophomores, we serve during the Mass as cross-bearer and we also collect and pass out the music sheets to the priests that concelebrate. There are certain times where we are asked to do spiritual reading and devel- op our own devotional prayer life. For example, we walk around the campus and say the Rosary on Thursdays. Once in a while we are asked to do a special project for a day of recollection and this helps bring the class together. All these things enable us to strive for that ulti- mate goal which IS to develop a better spiritual life. Eddie Garcia and Art Guer- erro, on their way to Geom- etry.

We also learn to welcome new stu- dents who enter Queen of Angels as sophomores. The light studies of sophomore year has enabled us to participate in the projects of the student body in a truer manner. They have also enabled us to help out the youn- ger seminarians by tutoring them in subjects that they are having difficulty with. Being able to do this brings our class and the freshmen class closer together and creates a special spirit of school unity. Now that we have become sophomores, we are able to stay on weekend retreats and help run them. We now have enough knowledge about the school to be able to go out and give vocation talks.

I felt it would be easier and the subject matter itself is, but the presentation is much more dif- ficult to comprehend. I hoped, as did many of my classmates that our class would increase in unity and it has. We became closer and more understand- ing of each others.

THE CLASS OF 1990 Jesus Castro You may not think much of the freshmen, that they are nobodies . But in a way, they are really special. The freshmen care a lot about this seminary although sometimes they don ' t really show it. We are special because we were part of the last classes to be taught by Mrs. Jacques. Also, the freshmen are partly the first class to be taught by ! r. t onaco. The fresh- men also celebrated their first Annual Retreat with Fr. Ted Lamos who led our retreat. As freshmen we have seen a lot of seminarians come and go this year but the most important person that left this year was Bishop Ziemann. We freshmen feel special that we were the last part of the seminarians to get to know Bishop Ziemann. His friendship, leadership and guid- ance have been important. Our class, I believe, has a special kind of spunkiness that will help us through the hard times now and later on. Another special project the freshmen did was to collect some money to help pay for Bishop Ziemann ' s mitre. The freshmen may be special b ecause gradually and dramaticaaly they have learned to grow together as a class.

All of our classes challenge us to do our best so sometimes we have to spend extra time on our harder subjects. Our hardest class would most definitely be English. Sr. St. George really pushes us to do our best in everything we do. Freshmen classes are hard but we get along with help for each other.

Kicking back to one Freshman can be listening to music, while pumping iron can be relaxing to another. Even though we have many alternatives available for our enjoyment, the television and recreation rooms are the most widely used. Another popular activity is just talking with our friends and our families on the phone. We also like to visit each other in the dormitories. A lot of us like to pray in the Chapel or out in the peaceful atmosphere of the Grotto. Overall, I feel, that the Freshman class does not get bored during free-time.

Through his actions and l ind words, he shows me that he really cares about me. All big brothers are different in their actions towards their little brothers. They give us their time by being with us and by praying with us. They halp us get through this first year at the seminary by helping us with our studies. The encourage us to reach for higher goals. Whenever one of us needs to talk to someone, we can always turn to our big brother who will listen and understand us. They truly are our brothers. The big brothers help their little brothers grow spiritually. The one thing freshmen like about having a big brother is that they have someone to look up to and they don ' t have to be afraid of being put down by them. It seems to me that most of the students in Catholic high schools are unwilling to open up to their big brothers because they don ' t have that special close- ness like we have here at the seminary. Without big brothers life would definitely be more difficult for the freshmen. -Alex Vega Sean Stevenson Chris Ticliey This page is sponsored by Parish of Our Lady of grace (Encino) 80 Freshmen OFFERING A HELPING HAND -THE BIG-BROTHER LITTLE-BROTHER Ernie Zamorano Mike Murphy talks with his little brothers Steve and Victor Although they are not his real little brothers, Tony treats Ernie and Sean as though they were.

It begins in early morning at 7:15 AM. with morning prayers by which we prepare our- selves for the day at hand. We then have breakfast and attend morning classes. In between fourth and fifth periods, there is an intermittent period in which we have Mass and lunch. After our afternoon classes, we engulf ourselves in healthy sports activities through which we release any frustrations we may have obtained from the many hours of classes. Following sports we have spiritual reading and com- munity rosary. After this, we have dinner followed by some free time. At 7:30 P.M. we have study hall, where everyone gath- ers do do their homework, our day then is culminated by evening prayers. This page is sponsored by Rev. Thomas G.

Hollywood) Student Life 83 The liturgy is an essential element of our daily lives. There are many as- pects of the liturgy that we must take into account before the Mass is to begin. Music plays a principal role in the liturgy; to sing is to pray twice. After songs have been chose, the schola, guitarists, organ- ists, and music directors prepare themselves by attributing intense practice to each song. Even before the music division gets off the ground, the chapel must be prepared for the liturgy. The duty of setting up the sanctuary before Mass and reset after Mass is done by the sacristans. It is the responsibility of the master of ceremonies (MC) to appoint lectors and servers for the celebration of the liturgy. It is also his duty to instruct students on how to serve the different parts of the Mass. As you can see, the Mass is the most important part of our daily lives and we try to do our best in order to make it special. Even though we have Mass every- day, it is not always the same old thing. We have many special masses such as our annual Thanksgiving Mass, class Masses, and many oth- ers. These special celebrations of the Sacrifice of the Mass as well as the concelebrated Masses provide us opportunities to reflect on how much the Lord loves us. The daily themes from the scriptures help us hear God ' s word and put it into practice. This page is sponsored by Fr. Jose G. Sanchez (Los Nietos) 84 Spiritual Life OUR DAILY BLESSING rg | T i ii.

The senior retreat was led by Fr. Michael Harris, the principal of Mater Del High School. The ju- niors were led closer to Christ through Fr. Dan Laner ' s spiritual guidance. Fr. Joe Shea, led the sophomores to a better under- standing of themselves and the Lord. Fr. Ted Llanos guided his fifth group of freshmen through the mysteries of the retreat pro- cess. With the help of the retreat masters, each class had the op- portunity to ask and to learn more about the priesthood. We also learned more about our prayer lives and how we can keep a close relation with God even when we are not in the semi- nary. In short, the annual re- treat is a time for us to grow in the grace of God. 1. Some of the freshmen discuss matters with their retreat master, Fr. Ted Llanos. 2.

Though only one of the many sports competitions played here, this unprecedented event is highly regarded as our favorite. A very physical game of wits is turned into a means for each class to strike out at an opposing class. Though only flag football, many have limped away from the . game either triumphant in glory, or in the agony of defeat. The Classic also gives each player a goal by working together as a team. Working as one unit in many ways brings the class together as one unified whole. For the reasons of determination, unity, and class spirit, seminarians always place their whole mind, body, and soul into the Classic. 1.

Numerous responsibilities are given to the differ- ent class levels. The sophomores serve as waiters who deliver the food and beverages to their schoolmates. Weekly, two juniors are assigned to the task of giving tea and coffee to the student body. The seniors, from time to time, are asked to deliver and serve the meals to the faculty members. A few juniors and seniors are refectorians, whose duties include keeping order in the dining hall and making sure that all re- sponsibilities are accomplished. Finally, the youngest mem- bers of the seminary: the freshman class, must clean the tables after every meal. 1. The privilege of waitering for the faculty members is taken by senior class members. 2.

Where a country has a president, we make use of our highly effi- cient Student Council. As with most other schools, the main goal of our Student Council is to discern the needs and desires of the stu- dents to those in charge. Also in accordance with other schools, our Student Council holds frequent meetings with the administration to discuss those events which facilitate recognition. The one point that sets apart our Council from that of another school is that we often hold council meetings in which our whole student body Is pre- sent and may have direct input to those items on the agenda. Our Council consists of an A.S.B. President, Vice Presi- dent, A.S.B. Secretary A.S.B. Treasurer. All are elected by the student body. Also part of the Student Council are two representatives from each class elected by the classes themselves. It is through these able leaders that we become more informed about those topics prevailent in our seminary community.

This does not just mean financial help, but It encompasses a wide variety of services which we make part of our daily lives. Every Wednesday the seniors go out to neighboring parishes to teach catechetics to third, fourth, and sixth graders. At Christmas time, some students go with Fr. Burnham down to Mexicali to take toys and clothing to some of the orphanages. At home, in the seminary, we minister to each other through such works as serving .. l Aass. helping others with homework, and other services. It IS also by service to MEND and the Mis- sion Council that we reach out to others in Christ ' s name. Fr. Burnham visited many orphan- ages while in Mexicali. Fr.

Ziemann. ordained as an auxiliary bishop at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. was Since being ordained a priest by Cardinal Mclntyre in 1967, Bishop Ziemann has lived up to his episcopal motto: Siempre Adelante-Always Go Forward. As a parish priest at St. Matthias in Huntington Park, Bp. Ziemann reached out to young people by his friendship and ability to listen. He was soon chosen to teach at Mater Dei High School and became part of the administration. As weekend retreats gained popularity so did Bishop Ziemann because he reminded teens that God loved them. His love for youth allowed Bp. Ziemann to go forward in the academic world. He earned his teaching and administra- tive credentials from the State of California. A thesis about his grandfather, lawyer Joseph Scott, earned him a Master of Education degree from Mount St. Mary ' s College in Los Angeles. Bishop Ziemann went forward for Christ and broke new ground when be began to teach at Queen of Angels High School Seminary In 1974. He quickly earned a reputation as an outstanding teacher, counselor and Spiritual Director. Being a man for all seasons, Bishop Ziemann has shared his love of the fine arts with the seminarians. He developed strong field trips to all the major museums in Los Angeles. Countless plays, musicals and special performances have been arranged by him. Even the Christmas sing-a-long of Handel ' s Messiah has had seminarians singing their best because of Bishop Ziemann ' s zeal. The new bishop has also been a strong promoter of cultural awareness. Moving forward into special ministries has been a specialty of Bishop Ziemann. He has given numerous retreats and days of recollection. Visiting Juvenile Hall in Sylmar and celebrating Mass has been a weekly ministry. Many families have been renewed by Bishop Ziemann ' s presence at the family camps run by the Sacred Heart Sisters. Bishop Ziemann has also found time to help out at St. Charles Parish in North Hollywood. As a successor of the Apostles, Bishop Ziemann now moves forward to teach, govern and sanctify God ' s people in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. The Seminary family will miss Bishop Ziemann ' s dynamic service but we know God has a better plan. May the Holy Spirit continue to renew you, Bishop Pat. You are our priest, counselor, teacher and good true friend. May some of us one day be able to concelebrate Mass with you! This page is sponsored by Our Lady of Loretto Parish (LA) 1 1 2 Special 1.

Bishop Johnson knew the struggles of being a high school seminarian. He attended the first high school seminary in the archdiocese, Los Angeles College. Let- ting the students know he cared about them was a major reason why Bishop Johnson visited Queen of Angeles so often. When he was with the Orange semi- narians, Bishop Johnson loved to answer questions and share his pastoral vision. His love for Christ and the Church inspired us and encouraged our vocations. Bishop Johnson ' s love of charity helped us to serve the needs of the poor. He was a great model for being a priest and a caring person. We will miss him deeply because he was our friend and our hero. c: 124 In Memoriam This page Is sponsored by: KITCHENS UNLIMITED-PETER Y. MCCARTHY 320 S.

We hope that by reading through this yearbook, you recall those magical moments that have made the seminary a united family. We chose the theme of We are One in the Spirit to highlight the family atmosphere that characterizes life at Queen of Angels. The administration, faculty, staff, students and parents make up a special family that is guided by the Spirit of the Lord. The production of this book required dedication, perseverance, and humor. We take pride in the results. We thank everyone for their constant support. Our advisor, l lr. Bustamante, is to be commended for his patience and understanding. We create this yearbook not only for ourselves but also to promote vocations. We hope that everyone who reads The Prep will reflect about the seminary, the priesthood and what God calls us to do with our lives.
