Saint Joseph Abbey Seminary is a college for young men becoming Priest which usually has about 50 young men attending during a session. The Seminary is run by 40 monks that teach there that sing the Mass on Sunday. It is so moving. There is a beautiful church sitting on 1500 acres with a creek running thru it and a large lake. It is located about 40 miles North of New Orleans, La. It has been about 10 years since we went to Mass there and I plan on going to confession Saturday so I can go to communion there Sunday. My wife and I are really looking forward to going there Sunday.
The Abbey was establish in 1889 by the Benedictine and I always feel so good after we go there. We had stopped going to Mass for about 4 years ago because of the sex abuse with young boys. It was so terrible here in New Orleans and the Catholic Church has agree to too settle with a large number of them. Now the Catholic Church is selling poor performing Catholic Church’s to get the money for all of the law suits. They are also requiring the Catholic schools to pay a certain amount to help with lawsuits. My son has to pay over $10,000 for our 2 grandsons to go to Catholic school. They are really holding out their hands for extra money to pay for lawsuits. Go figure. Sorry I went on and on but my wife and I are so excited to finally go back to Mass. GOD BLESS AMERICA. GLYNN
