From 1963 to 1967 I attended Our Lady of Lourdes Seminary in Cassadaga, New York, an Assumptionist enclave. During that period, I received an excellent education, strengthened the foundations of my faith, learned to think and question, built true friendships and received valuable lessons in living as a member of a community. To this day, I've never hesitated in telling anyone that my seminary experience was positive and much appreciated.

I send this contribution with heartfelt gratitude for the experience the Assumptionists gave me so many years ago.

Sincerely,

Charles "Charlie" Garon
