NAC Opening Banquet

A couple of weeks ago, to celebrate the conclusion of our regular orientation here at the Pontifical North American College (NAC) here in Rome, we had a wonderful evening of prayer, delicious food, and fellowship!  My thanks to all who made it possible!

 

This is our main chapel, where we gather for the Liturgy of the Hours (This is when we pray the Psalms) and for daily Holy Mass.

 

After evening prayer, we went to a reception in the "Red Room," which is a special faculty lounge and reception area that is also used by the American Cardinals when they come to visit!    

 

 

Live music and lively conversations ensued with clergy, religious, and seminarians alike!

 

 

 Then off to an outdoor cena (supper) in the courtyard in front of the chapel!

Finally to close the night, a glimpse at our main courtyard and fountain.

 

It feels great to be finished with orientation and now, preparing for the beginning of classes!

 

God love you!
