Our vocations' director celebrated the inaugural mass in the new postulants' chapel/oratory. It is an attic room over the library that has had various uses over the years, but the rector decided to refurbish it with spare altar pieces so the postulants can have a private place to pray. (The Blessed Sacrament is always exposed in the shrine adjoining the seminary, but we are [generally] required to wear a shirt and tie whenever leaving the cloister and not on leave for recreation, so it is nice to have a more private space available as well).
After that, we went hiking at Mt. Wachusett in western Massachusetts. One of the postulant's parents live quite near there, so we went to their home for an evening meal afterward before returning home for studies.
