As I mentioned on Saturday, now proclaimed on our webpage, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom has received accreditation. Alleluia! The little college that began with nine students back in the Jubilee Year 2000, has now been recognized by the Ontario government as a degree-granting institution. It is significant that we heard news of this on[…]
