Even when in Rome, our seminarians celebrate all that they are grateful for... including their homeland:

Lyrics in Latin

Locus iste a Deo factus est,
Inaestimabile sacramentum,
Irreprehensibilis est.

English Translation

This is the Lord’s house, which He hath made,
Profoundly sacred,
It is beyond reproof
