It's the good life...

It's hard living in a newly renovated room on the third floor of what we call Hotel Josephinum.  This terrible view doesn't help much at all.  Oh well...

Seriously, this is the beautiful view from my window.  I was very fortunate to get one of the twenty newly renovated rooms in the college division.

Fatima and surrounding areas.

 Portugal's monument to Christ the King in Lisbon

The Basilica Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima

The apparition sight at Valinhos

The representation of the Angel of Peace bringing Holy Communion to the seers

The sacristy in which St. Anthony left the Augustinians to become a Franciscan...and some lovely nuns

Beautiful architecture 

Altar of the Tree of Jesse 

Our Lady in procession

The lift and statue combined weigh 800lbs.  

These are only a few of the photos.  

..the silence has ended?

Now that I have returned from pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal and have moved in at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio I will be attempting to blog a bit more.  I am very excited to be here at the seminary!  Facebook will rarely be used so this will be the best way to keep tract of me.  Pictures from the pilgrimage soon...I hope.
