After seeing St. George Church we visited St. Joseph Pontifical Seminary in Cochin where we had tea with Dean Tomy who was a seminary classmate of Fr. Jose (though we learned not to say "classmate" which is the title of a movie here and judging from the reaction not to be connected with).
Pictured is the Gothic style church at the seminary, a statue of Joseph with the infant Jesus (central symbol of the sanctuary and seminary), a lion at the entrance (the lion is the national animal), and one of several long, cool, peaceful walkways.
Behind the seminary runs the largest river in Kerala. Students used to bathe and swim there, but too many have drowned so they no longer are allowed to do so.
