CHARLOTTE — Six men are graduating from St. Joseph College Seminary this month, earning undergraduate degrees from Belmont Abbey College and trading in their college “house cassocks” for new black cassocks that mark their upcoming move to major seminary.
(From left) Connor White, Patrick Martin, Bailey Van Nosdall, Emanuel Martinez, Kolbe Flood and James Johnson IV are pictured receiving their new cassocks after a baccalaureate Mass May 7 at St. Ann Church in Charlotte.
They will continue their studies and priestly formation for the Diocese of Charlotte at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio.
