St. Mary’s Own “Home Opener!” On Saturday, March 30, St. Mary’s seminarians held their annual wiffle ball spring opener. Team Redemptorists—coached by Professor of Moral Theology and Spirituality, Rev. Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.—faced off against Team Sulpician—coached by St. Mary’s President Rector, Rev. Phillip Brown, P.S.S.—on a sunny “field of dreams.” Team Redemptorist won the contest which, of course, included a spring picnic lunch, games, and good times.
