Hello everyone, for those who don't know me my name is Anthony Duns, I am a seminarian to the Dioceses of Port Pirie South Australia. I am beginning my studies for the priesthood in BEDA seminary in Rome this year which will l take me four years to complete to become a priest.
I hope to be able to share this journey with you all over the coming years with regular posts and up dates of my time spent over here. I hope this will give an incite to life in a seminary and my on personal journey of the trials and joys of which I will undertake.
Although this will be the first time into a seminary I have actually been on the journey for over two years with studying and pastoral placements throughout the dioceses.
I will be travelling to Rome on Monday 19th September and arriving Tuesday for a Friday evening induction.
I have received my first fortnight program. Highlights, Mass in St Paul's and St Peters and audience with the Pope!
