A new year - ANNUS NOVUS

Salvete Discipuli!!

Welcome to the newly inaugurated home of Latina ad Academiam Westministram.

Juvenes! Juniores et Meliores. Gratias vobis ago! (et agam). Bene volemus discere et bene laboravistis adhuc temporem. Deus sit vobiscum et lux fiat in corde tua nunc et aeterno (saecula saeculorum).

Hic scribemus multos commentarios de laboribus nostris
et adiungemus multa theoria de mundo Christi perservando ab lingua Latina.

Scribite! Hodie et semper...

id facite.

Magister
