What is the most important thing about the admissions process?
The most important part of the admissions process is the Weekend Visit. The Weekend Visit experience is an opportunity for young Catholic men to explore St. Lawrence Seminary as a prospective high school. This experience is open to current eighth, ninth and tenth grade students. The weekend, which runs Thursday through Sunday, allows students to experience Seminary life during the course of the school year. Weekend Visitors are involved in all the normal activities of the Seminary. They join the students in prayer, classes, meals, and recreation. During the weekend the prospective students take an admissions exam. The results are shared with both student and his parents before the end of the weekend. Parents are asked to join on Saturday and Sunday, as we consider this an important part of the weekend experience. A shared personal experience makes for a common ground from which prospective students and their parents can discuss attending St. Lawrence Seminary.
