Bonfire 2014

Since the 1930’s, Notre Dame Seminary and Saint Joseph Seminary have competed in what is called the BonFire Game – a flag football game between the two seminaries. This NDS took the victory with a 25-13 win. However, the Saint Ben guys played hard and well. Before the game, the 250 seminarians gathered for Mass in the historic Abbey. Following the game, the men gathered in the refectory for Vespers and then dinner. The rector of Saint Ben’s, Father Gregory, provided ribs, turkey, gumbo, and a bountiful meal fitting for 250 men. Then, after the meal, everyone gathered to watch a 3 story bonfire burn in which the men enjoyed good fellowship, cold beer, and tom foolery.
