Opening Gala

Well I've made it through my first two hectic days of class, jet lag and all. Katie, unfortunately, has an 8:00 Latin class yet tomorrow morning. This evening was the traditional gala opening the academic year. First a votive Divine Liturgy to the Holy Ghost; then a lecture from our president Msgr Hogan on the topic of the foolishness of God, which is higher than human wisdom; followed by first class cultural entertainment (singing and piano); and concluding with wines from Trumau (the school's future location) and all kinds of cheeses. To the left is the beautiful baroque library, a.k.a. the "Sistine Chapel of the North."

By the way, in case you missed it in the comments box: our laptop and stove are now working. Deo gratias!
