Vatican City, Sep 9, 2020 / 09:00 am (CNA).- American seminarians met with Pope Francis this week after completing a 14-day mandatory quarantine upon their arrival in Rome.

For the 155 seminarians living at the Pontifical North American College (NAC) campus this year, the fall semester will be unlike any other in recent history due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Thanks be to God everyone has arrived safely,” Fr. David Schunk, vice rector for the college told CNA Sept. 9.
