...Swain cites the lack of alternative institutions for these students, since "few Catholic seminaries will train lay people for anything." Harvard especially appeals to students because of its reputation for academic excellence and generous financial aid policy. The non-denominational status also attracts people. Most Catholic students at the Div School have attended Catholic grammar schools, high schools and colleges, Swain says, and "want a break from a kind of ghetto educational experience...
Stephen Torraco differs from most students at the Div School in that he will be ordained as a Catholic priest after graduation next year. Before entering the Div School two years ago, he attended high school and college at a Roman Catholic seminary. He applied to Harvard because of a "commitment to the larger Christian church. I wanted to be able to come to grips with fellow students from different traditions."
