While priestly formation may happen primarily within the walls of the seminary — through the study of philosophy and theology and quiet prayer in the chapel — there’s something wonderfully human about how Saint John’s Seminary’s formation has extended to the basketball court.

​

The film follows members of the Saint John's Seminary team, which first formed in 2017, as they bond through early-morning practices in an elementary school gym and later travel to Illinois to compete in the St. Francis de Sales tournament.  The last game was held in the gym used as a practice facility by the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks for 30 years until 2017.  The  tournament featured 12 teams from around the United States. It was an extraordinary weekend of basketball, but also a lot of brotherhood, for the 250 men who have chosen to give their lives to Christ. Between games, the men prayed together, ate together, and enjoyed a camaraderie that strengthens the future of our Church.
