The Trees at San Jose Seminary




The month of June is something to look forward when going back to San Jose Seminary, aside from the building and the famous San Jose statue, the acacia trees are another landmark. I happened to visit again my home-seminary last May of this year, just five days before I start my regency year proper, I must say that I did feel at home again to the place where my vocation flourished and where I knew myself even better. I was about to transfer all my things from the other building to the main building stock room when I noticed the acacia trees fronting the seminary driveway.

During this time of the year, the flowers of the acacia trees bloom and what a wonderful sight to see again those flowers bloom! It seems that another school year will unfold and there's always something to look forward when coming home to San Jose Seminary! Just like the trees at San Jose Seminary, we are being welcomed again to continue our journey and to feel again the warm embrace of our beloved alma mater that truly this is our home. The acacia trees welcome the Sons of San Jose from far or near, from old to young ones, ordained or lay, friends and benefactors...Everyone is welcome!
