New Website for the Archdiocese of St. Louis

At long last, the new St. Louis Archdiocesan website has gone live. There are a great many new features of this website, and one of my favorites is the Mass/Adoration/Reconciliation time search for all the parishes (I haven't seen any other diocese with this kind of functionality on their website).

The website is much more pleasing to the eye than the old site, and has a quite a bit more content, including many blogs that will likely be updated very often!

Bella (the Movie) Coming to St. Louis Theaters!

Bella the Movie

The movie Bella (which I reviewed earlier) is coming to theaters in St. Louis next weekend (Starting Friday, October 26). The movie will be playing at the St. Louis Mills Stadium 18, Ronnie's 20 Cinema, AMC West Olive 16, Chesterfield Galaxy 14, St. Charles 14, and the Plaza Frontenac. (This list is subject to change—check here for the latest).

I plan on watching the movie with a few seminarians; I encourage everyone to see this excellent film!

2007 Kenrick-Glennon Lions Soccer

Remember the KGB Lions? Well, we're back in gear for another season... and by 'back in gear,' I mean we have an entirely new set of gear! Hopefully our new uniforms will be able to help us get the psychological advantage over the other teams in our CYC league and put a few wins under our belt:

Kenrick-Glennon Lions Soccer 2007  

Through the generous support of a few donors, our team finally has new jerseys, with Archbishop Kenrick's crest (with a lion) embriodered on the chest. You can come support the Kenrick-Glennon Lions by watching one of our Sunday games (at 2:45 p.m.). Here's a link to the schedule.

Search Added to Life is a Prayer.com

After reading this post on Strobist, I finally found a way to get sitewide search capabilities for the great price of $0! Now, instead of somebody having to go to Google to find something on my site (or click through many archive pages... a very cumbersome process!), he can simply type in his search in the little search box at the top of the page. Quite intuitive—kudos to Google for this!

2007 Alumni Day & "The Rectory"

Archbishop Burke at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Alumni Day 2007

Yesterday the Seminary held its annual 'Alumni Day,' during which priests from the St. Louis Archdiocese and many other dioceses who are graduates of the Kenrick-Glennon Seminary celebrated Mass and entertained and were entertained by the Seminarians. I've posted the few pictures I took at the reception and dinner, but they pale in comparison to the excellent (and very humorous) video that was put on by a group of Kenrick seminarians (mostly in Theology II). The video is a humorous take on a 1950s film by the St. Louis Serra Club (click here to watch the old video. You can watch the video (on YouTube) by clicking the play button below:
