My seminary is connected with 2 of the three. Duluth is where our co-adjutor came from. And the priest from Miami lived with the spiritual director here at the seminary. The bishop elect actually took the position right after our spiritual director left to come up here to the seminary!
So Cincinnati rejoices with the rest of the Church!
It sounds really good
