Seminarians stay active on the hill with annual 5K

BY WKC STAFF

On Sept. 21, Saint Meinrad Archabbey hosted its annual On the Hill 5K, which was open to all. Runners were welcome to come early to attend Mass with the monks in Saint Meinrad’s chapel. Two of the runners this year included Diocese of Owensboro seminarians Tommy Rhodes and Wes Wheatley, who entered the seminary this fall. Rhodes and Wheatley, along with fellow seminarian Kevin Foster, are in their propaedeutic year, – a formation stage to develop a life of prayer, study, fraternity, and appropriate docility to formation.
