Just about a year ago (July 28, 2004), we ran a report on Benjamin Adam Roberts, a former student of ours, who had just graduated summa cum laude in philosophy from D'Youville College in Buffalo, NY, where he was completing his pre-novitiate with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Ben, who has subsequently appealed for admission to candidacy for the priesthood in the Diocese of Charlotte, just received word on Thursday from Charlotte Bishop Peter Jugis that he has been officially accepted as a seminarian and will be attending St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia starting in August. Ben is a Lutheran convert to Catholicism from North Carolina where he previously attended Lenoir-Rhyne College. Those of us who have known Ben over the last four or five years during his sojourn of discernment join in expressing our congratulations to him and our gratitude to God for answered prayer. Best wishes, Ben.
