That is wonderful. The thing that floored me when I was down in San Antonio a month or so ago. Was that Archbishop Flores had reopened the old Missions to be used for Mass and the biggest one is even a fully operational parish. They are currently trying to raise $15 million for renovation work in conjunction with the Texas Park and Wildlife Department.

From what I've heard, Archbishop Gomez is a huge improvement over his predecessor. This story seems to confirm that.

By their fruits...

The “obvious” thing to do would be to export priests to other seminaries which are operating at 1% capacity. That the diocese invests in training them locally, rather than sending them to Chicago (George’s own diocese!) speaks volumes.

Good things are happening in our seminaries! Thank you, God.
