Hi and happy Saturday. I work for a college and just went through the nightmare of coordinating our graduation ceremony. Somebody snuck in last night and put fireball shooters under all the students’ chairs. That was fun. It got me thinking what it would be like if I worked for the local seminary instead of what’s widely considered to be a party school.

Anyway, *that* made me wonder what it’s like to graduate from seminary. Does graduation automatically mean ordination to the priesthood? Are they separate ceremonies? Do you wear traditional student robes or more clerical clothing?

Thanks for entertaining my curiosity.
