This booklet was probably in the hands of all prospective students who had decided to enter the preparatory seminary at Mother of Good Counsel, entering as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors, the 1st- and 2nd-year college students. There is little left unsaid in it and it answers many of the questions that a boy may have as he makes such a monumental step. By clicking on the image to the left, you can download the bulletin.

The bulletin was also designed for parents as they prepared their sons to leave the nest.

Today, 2021, that total cost would be $734.31 when accounting for inflation.

These young men would proceed to Warrenton in September and remain there until a two-week Christmas break, roughly 100 days away from home. What does one pack for clothes? The bulletin has an answer as shown on the left.
