Seminary to Papal Election

After graduation in 1976 David applied to Saint Joseph’s House of Studies with the Society of Saint Pius X, which was run by Fr. Anthony Ward.  Fr. Ward considered David’s youth and stated that David needed more ‘worldly experience’ and should wait a year.  Six months later Fr. Ward left the SSPX and was replaced by Fr. Donald Sanborn, who accepted David.  Follow the rest of this story in the posts under this section.
David Bawden was accepted into the International Seminary of Saint Pius X in Econe, Switzerland in August of 1977.  He had been admitted to study in January of 1977, and advised he and four others would be sent to Econe, because Fr. Sanborn considered they were most likely to persevere to ordination.
