Visiting Us

You are always welcome to visit our houses of formation, which are located just outside Washington, DC. If you live outside the DC area and would need to travel to Washington, we can arrange to pick you up at the airport, train station, etc., and can also set you up with a place to stay either at the novitiate or the seminary—if you want to sit in on some classes, then it might make sense to stay at the seminary. In order to arrange a visit, please contact Fr. Mariano Vicchi.


If you live nearby, you can arrange to stay with us if you like, or just stop in for a visit at the seminary. The parish church next to the seminary, St. John Baptist de la Salle* (which we recently took administration of), is where we have Mass, pray the Liturgy of the Hours, and have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every day. You are welcome to join us for any of our community prayer. In addition, after adoration on Friday nights, the novices come over to the seminary and we all have pizza and hang out together in the hall below the church, and we often have guys who are discerning or are just friends of our priests & seminarians join us—you are welcome to visit us then as well. In either case, just contact Br. Nathaniel Dreyer to let us know you'll be stopping by

*It's not the prettiest church (it looks sort of Protestant inside and out), but we just put in proper walls, we're about to begin renovating the sanctuary (!)—and most importantly, Jesus is there.

**It's late, we know, but we were founded by Argentineans and keep a very latin schedule—we also have a siesta in the afternoon...

God and Intelligence
 right

In this book, Fulton Sheen addresses what G. K. Chesterton called “the most tremendous question in the world; perhaps the only question in the world:” how man, through the power of reason, can know the nature of God. Tracing the course of philosophy from the Middle Ages to modern times, he shows Thomistic realism to be an adequate response to modern ideals. Emphasizing reason as a way of attaining knowledge of God, Bishop Sheen identifies the current age of agnosticism with its simultaneous distrust of reason. In a lucid tone, he analyzes the modern attack on intelligence, while presenting Scholastic philosophy as the solution to modern problems. Bishop Sheen succeeds in actualizing St. Thomas to such a degree that he ends up proving that Scholastic philosophy speaks to the world today as freshly as it did to the world of the 13th century.

IVE Press

This is one of the most enduring works by Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen—one of the great Catholic writers, apologists and prelates of the 20th Century. It is being published again by the IVE Press to re-awaken the Catholic understanding of the Holy Mass as the Sacrifice of Calvary renewed, re-enacted, re-presented for our salvation. Calvary is one with the Mass, and the Mass is one with Calvary.

*IVE Press is a new English and Spanish language publishing house founded by the IVE in the U.S.
