Back at the seminary

the above picture was taken in Bayenburg, the town I stayed in when we were in Germany .  I sure hope to return there someday.  It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life!!!  Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from very many of the folks I met on that trip...  maybe they're still pooped out from all the work they did for World Youth Day?

Well I am back at the seminary.  It is good to be back.  It is peaceful here.  So peaceful - so prayerful.  We got a new music director here at Mundelein, and I think she is just fabulous..... she might whip us around to have a good choir and what-not!  For the biggest seminary in the country, it's sad that we have the worst choir in the world.... .  That's not a huge exaggeration, but important to mention that this won't be the case for much longer.  Linda Cerabona (isn't that Italian for "good wax" or something?) is amazing.  I look forward to learning from her about Liturgical Music....

This weekend I will be going with Jared Cheek and Gerard Alba to the Nature's Call Campout - this always proves to be a great time.... a good campout with good friends, tasty food, a little beer (or Makers Mark), and a lot of sun and water.  It's a long drive, but we will probably take stop in St. Louis or Belleville IL and stay the night...

I have been busy here at Mundelein setting up e-mail accounts and turning on ports.  People have been very patient and I plan to have everything finished by tomorrow.... at this rate, it should occur!!  Thanks to good help, anything is possible!!

Have a great day and God bless you ---  Matty
