This month, Holy Apostles College & Seminary seminarians, religious sisters, faculty, and students enjoyed a fantastic hike at Hubbard Park in Meriden, CT. The fall scenery of the Northeast was truly breathtaking, as the once-green trees had transformed into stunning shades of yellow, orange, and red, painting a vivid picture along the paths. Surrounded by this beautiful landscape under a clear blue sky and the crisp autumn air, they experienced a peaceful and refreshing sense of renewal.
Hiking is not just about physical exercise; it holds a deeper meaning for our community. This outing allowed them to step away from their daily stresses, immerse themselves in nature, and, more importantly, strengthen their bonds as brothers and sisters. The laughter they shared, the stories exchanged along the way, and the simple joy of overcoming challenging parts of the trail together created unforgettable memories.
This experience not only allowed them to connect with the beauty of nature but also fostered a spirit of unity and support among our community. They returned to campus with not just a sense of accomplishment from the hike, but also with deeper friendships and a renewed appreciation for our community at Holy Apostles College & Seminary.
