Holy Trinity Seminary Come & See
Thank you for considering this opportunity as you discern God’s will. Holy Trinity Seminary is the college seminary that the majority of the Austin seminarians attend. The “Come and See” will allow you to experience a normal day in the life of a seminarian, talk with seminarians who were very recently in your shoes, and give you plenty of time to pray. I am confident that this visit will prove helpful in your discernment.
The schedule below is preliminary. I am still finalizing the details of the activities with the seminary, but the schedule provides enough information for you to make your plans and prepare your heart. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. God bless you, and count on my prayers.
In Christ,
Fr. Greg
