High-school grad seminary bound

Over at the Arkansas Catholic, there is a brief article and picture of a high school graduate reading his "letter of intent" to attend a seminary this fall during a Mass and in front of his bishop, Anthony Taylor.

It's a rather dramatic and formal way for a teenager to announce his intentions to enter a seminary. Decades ago it was commonplace for high school kids to enter the seminary. Hopefully it works out well for the young man.
