The academic year closed on May 20^th in Buffalo, New York.  Feliciano Lopez-Ortiz completed his course work in English at Canisius College and Ray Cook graduated summa cum laude from D’Youville College.

Both young men also “graduated” from the Pre-Novitiate Candidacy Program and will enter the Oblate Novitiate in Godfrey, Illinois in mid-August to discern more intensely their call to Oblate religious life and priesthood.
