Here are some of the good fathers who teach at the seminary. Fr. Dan, far right, is rector of the seminary. They are all Sulpecian priests, an order of priests whose sole duty is to teach other priests. Because of that, they all have advanced degrees in theology. That also means they have a great sense of humor, so dinner is always fun.
This statue of Mary and the infant Jesus is in the middle of the courtyard. In the back you can see the front of the chapel.
A closer view of the statue shows Mary kissing Jesus' little hand, something I had never seen before. It gives the statue a kind and gentle look.
In another courtyard is a statue of a man thinking. This and the statue of Mary put the two important parts of Catholic theology together: belief and reason.
Vietnamese seem to love soccer, and seminarians are almost all rabid players. They take great care of their field.
Basketball, however, is not that important. The awning is for badminton, another favorite sport here.
