Excerpt from Dominus Vobiscum: A Book of Letters Unless the good zealous pastor - and he is the rule - takes an active interest in the young cleric freed from the restraint of the Seminary, and sees that he keeps up the practice of daily Mass, Communion and Visits, much of the Seminary training is nullified. The chief pastors of our flock here in the United States, aware of the withering effects of this vacation atmosphere, are trying to obviate this difficulty by providing villas for Seminarians during the summer months, where the discipline of the Seminary is con tinned in a somewhat milder form and an Opportunity is given the student of catching up the loose ends that may have escaped him in his year's work. Where such a system prevails the conditions are ideal and the lack of vigilance on the part of pastors, whose responsibilities have been removed, is not felt by the authorities of the Seminary.
