Bishop-Elect Duca -- Final days as HTS Rector . . .

During the past several weeks we've watched Bishop-elect Duca as he set to packing twelve years of "life" as Rector into boxes and suitcases. He has shared many special moments with faculty, staff, and seminarians along the way and, as he packs--we listen--and, hopefully are learning our own life lessons. (below) Most Rev. Kevin J. Farrell pays a visit to HTS in April.

On May 8, 2008, Bishop-elect Duca  said Mass for everyone in the HTS Chapel and, afterwards, asked for help moving boxes to his POD outside. We were thankful to be able to help in some way.

These are joyful days, but also days of looking back at where we've come from...and, looking forward with anticipation while we "Hope in the Lord."

On Friday, May 9, 2008, Edward Holmberg, Holmberg Photography, came to take another series of portraits of Bishop-elect Michael G. Duca. They are shown in the HTS Student Lounge after the photo session.








 

There's much to be learned by the simple sign on our Rector's door which reads, "Have the mind of Jesus."








On May 9, 4:00 p.m. architect Stephen Norman came for a visit with Bishop-elect Duca to go over continuing plans for  updates to the First Floor --which include an elevator for handicap access as part of the Phase II Capital Campaign. Yes, Bishop-elect Duca is still working on it, and we hope to have some news updates for the next Trinitarian newsletter regarding plans. Norman Architects, LLC, were also the architects for the HTS Chapel renovations which were completed in 2005.
