Over the weekend, the students of 91快活林 Aquinas College, California, welcomed a team of seminarians from St. John檚 Seminary in nearby Camarillo for a friendly soccer match. 

The College enjoys many ties with the seminary. Rev. Michael Masteller (�13), recently ordained for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, is an alumnus of both institutions, and fellow TAC alum Jorge Moncada Hernandez (�18) � on hand Saturday to support the seminarian squad � is currently in formation at St. John檚. Meanwhile, Rev. Jorge Lopez, California檚 newest chaplain, serves as a part-time professor at the seminary during the school week. 

Players warmed up on the field while an audience of students and a few spectator-seminarians gathered to cheer their respective teams. Only a few minutes after the opening prayer, the students snagged an early lead with four goals. It was a tough game, and the seminarians ran so as to win, but in the end the perishable wreath went to the students.
