During the installation ceremony, I once again made my Oath of Fidelity. A key section of the text of the Oath reads: “I shall preserve the deposit of faith in its entirety, hand it on faithfully, and make it shine forth.” Thus, I committed myself to three actions rel- ative to the truth of our Catholic Christian faith: I am to hold it, give it to others, and radiate it outwards. These promises are not exclusive to me as Rector, as all candidates for and all faculty mem- bers make this same Oath of Fidelity. Indeed, the Seminary as a whole is committed to these promises and is renewed by them every time this Oath is taken. St. Patrick’s must be a place where the truth is pre- served in love. We must bear in mind that for us, Truth is not simply a body of concepts or proposi- tions, but a Person. Our Lord tells us that He is the Truth and thus, love of Christ and love of Truth are Fr.

TRIBUTES MOST REV. THOMAS A. DALY Bishop Thomas A. Daly served as Interim Rector and President of St. Patrick’s Seminary and University for only one year yet touched our community in ways that will never be forgotten. His warm and gracious personality, combined with thoughtful leadership, served as the perfect formula during a time of transition. Francis said that “Christ leads us to go out from ourselves more and more, to give ourselves and to serve others.” Bishop Daly gives witness to these words through his many years of ser- vice. From his ministry as vocations director for the Archdiocese of San Francisco, to his appointment as Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of San Jose, and to his As various roles in service of the seminary community, he has been a true servant-leader. Deacon Cameron Faller observed “as I come to end of one of my final semesters at St. Patrick’s, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bishop Daly for the many difficult sacrifices he must have made in order to serve as our interim rector last year while also maintaining his responsibilities as auxiliary bishop of San Jose. Bishop Daly definitely helped bring peace, stability, and a sense of humor during a difficult time of transition last year.” New President-Rector Rev. Gladstone Stevens, S.S., remarked, “Although his tenure was brief as Interim Rector, I count my association with him as one of the great joys of my ministry. The people at St. Nicholas are blessed to have him as .” Seminarian Eric Piczon added, “as the interim President-Rector, he lifted up our spirits and made the transition smoother for us. The ground became more solid.” Seminarian Manuel Rodriguez regards him as a role model for priestly formation. Thank you Bishop Daly for drawing us ever closer to the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, through his Most Immac- ulate Mother, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, Sedes Sapientiae”, added seminarian Kyle Faller. At a faculty meeting, Bishop Daly reminded all of us that one of the key elements in being a good priest is to have a pastoral heart. We thank you Bishop Thomas Daly for sharing your pastor’s heart with all of us here at St. Patrick’s Seminary. Many blessings! REV. ANTHONY GIAMPIETRO, CSB The faculty, staff and seminarians were grateful for the presence of Fr. Anthony Giampietro, CSB, during his tenure as Academic Dean and the Director of Development. He came to us in June of 2013 from the Philosophy Department at the University of St. Thomas in . As Academic Dean he strove to improve class scheduling and collaborated with the faculty in curriculum development. He also restructured outreach programs as Director of Develop- ment. Fr. Anthony recognized the enormous potential of St. Patrick’s Seminary to expand its mission of nurturing vocations and forming priests in the western . He assisted the Serra Club with the promotion of vocations and hosted the Knights of Malta on campus. As a Saturday program for seminarians to discuss evangelization and ’s Evan- gelii Gaudium, Fr. Anthony invited Vancouver Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB, as guest speaker. This past summer he also brought the Fides et Ratio Seminar to St. Patrick’s which brought academics from across the country to discuss Christian vocation, marriage and the priesthood through assigned Catholic texts. While at St. Patrick’s, he enriched our community through many contributions. We wish him great success with his development work for the Archdiocese of San Francisco. We thank you for all that you shared with us, Father Anthony, and may God continue to bless you.

OUR DEEPEST GRATITUDE MS. ANNE GRYCZ Ms. Anne Grycz joined the St. Patrick’s community in Spring 2008. At that time she was serving as Director of the Institute[NAME] for [Bio] Leadership in Ministry of the Diocese of San Jose (ILM), a bilin- gual three-year program to train and form leaders for the diocese. Anne taught Introduction“[Quote]” to Parish Ministry, a required class for second year Theology students before their Pastoral Year. In 2010 she teamed up with Fr. Gerald Brown to revamp the Pastoral Year program. Fr. Jerry and Anne became the “dynamic duo” in modeling the concept of collab- orative ministry: men and women, clergy and laity, academic and pastoral. This spring Anne turned 70 and announced her retirement. Her work at St. Patrick’s was summed up by Fr. Dan Donohoo who said, “Everyone agrees that Anne has a passion to help seminarians become the priests they can be, living generous lives in their vocation”. “I am grateful for Anne’s years of service to the community. I appreciated her optimism and enthusiasm about my experiences on my Pastoral Year and her continuing motivation for me as I approach priestly ministry,” adds Rev. Mr. Patrick Summerhays. Anne currently gives presentations and workshops in parishes and does retreat work as a spiri- tual director. We wish you all the best in your new ministry. [NAME] [Bio] “[Quote]” DR. MICHAEL NERI Dr. Michael Neri came to St. Patrick’s in the fall of 1975 with his wife, Marilyn, and two children, following seven years of service in Sulpician institutions. Thus, he was immersed deeply in the Sulpician approach to priestly formation well beforehand. Over the decades he has taught courses on the History of the Church and Multicultural Minis- try. To augment his skills as a formation advisor, he returned to USF to earn a Master’s degree in counseling psychology. He used his extra training in courses as well, team-teaching innovative courses in Supervised Ministry and assisting in Pastoral Counseling. He team-taught Theology and Canon Law of Marriage for over twenty years with various professors. [NAME] [Bio] In addition to teaching and formation advising, he served as Chair of the Pastoral Studies De- partment from 1979 to 2004, and as a member of the seminary administration from 2004 to “[Quote]” 2013. Seminarian Chris Kanowitz (Pastoral Year) adds: “[Dr. Neri] has been a pastoral example to me…he and his wife exemplify the vocation of the laity that Vatican II spoke about.” Reflecting on his time at St. Patrick’s, Dr. Neri says, “The heart of this work for me has been the gift of touching the future of the Church through serving future priests. Beyond the classroom and advising sessions, I have treasured the support and encouragement of my colleagues, and the vibrant faith and courageous discernment of the seminarians. These decades at SPSU have been a gift I will treasure always. I continue to pray for the seminary daily.” May God continue to bless all that you do.

DR. MARGARET TUREK

Adapted from remarks given by Fr. Paul Maillet, May[NAME] 16, 2014 [Bio] Dr. Turek is remarkable in her dedication to theological education and formation. As a profes- sor, she animates the classroom with her intense“[Quote]” of teaching. She knows the material she teaches, and is not afraid to carry the class off into the richest mysteries of the faith. She has also been a wonderful advisor, with an instinctive understanding of formation. She gives herself completely to the role of formation advisor, giving focused attention to the advisee. I witnessed her great dedication and sincerity in her input at faculty meetings. Though eloquent on the Trinity and Christology, she also really knows her football. Her patience with the the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns is a testimony to her exercise of the vir- tue of hope. Finally, Dr. Turek is a discerning disciple. One of her students wrote: “Dr. Turek models dis- cernment with her own life. She never stops asking the Lord where he wants her, repeatedly hearing the Lord call her out of her comfort zone.” After thirteen years of dedicated service to St. Patrick’s, she now moves on to the Diocese of Oakland to be Director of Faith Formation and Evangelization. We wish you all the best and will miss you dearly. MEET OUR NEW FACULTY MEMBERS

He teaches Sacred Scripture, specializing in the Synoptic Gospels and Pauline Corpus. Fr. Heidenblut looks forward to “the ability to share with the men in formation, to help them, and to dialogue with them about my experience in the priesthood to be good priests in the future, Holy men, with the understanding of service.”

SR. MARY ROBERTA CONNORS, FSE Sr. Mary Roberta, a Franciscan Sister of the Eucharist, comes to us from the University of St. Thomas in Houston where she was a part of the campus ministry department. At St. Patrick’s, she will serve as the Associate Director of the Pastoral Year Program, and formation advisor. Sr. Mary Roberta looks forward to “helping form men to be very good priests.”

MELISSA TAMAYO Melissa is the Executive Assistant to the President/Rector and the Director of Admissions.

In that position she was able to witness the ordinations of forty priests. Melissa most looks forward to continuing to “do the Lord’s work and helping seminarians get to where they ultimately need to be, in a parish bringing people to Christ.”

In his homily, the Archbishop reminded the Presidents (title used until 1933) seminarians that Jesus Christ must be the very identity of the priest. The priest must personify Christ with his very life. Every spiritual shepherd must suffer the loss of bodily life so that he may care for God’s people with authority and love. “Share this ministry in a spirit Jean-Baptiste Vuibert Henri Ayrinhac, John Lardner, of mutual trust, common 1898-1904 1904-1930 1930-1934 prayer and genuine concern.” President-Rectors The Most Reverend Salvatore Cordileone, Archbishop of San Francisco After the Archbishop’s homily, Fr.

The members of the Board of Trustees and my brother bishops will share with you the responsibility for the seminary’s institutional affairs.

He was kind, loving, gentle, and compassionate, with a terrific sense of humor. Following ordination in 1979 and a year-long assignment in a parish, Fr. Snyder served for over 25 years as a hospital chaplain. In 2005, he began his service to the community of St. Stephen the Martyr where he remained until his diagnosis with lung cancer and subsequent medical decline. After over a year of treatment and a truly valiant fight, he passed away on May 14, 2014.

Walter “Walt” Harrington Walter Harrington left St. Patrick’s at the end of his third year of Theol- ogy study, but his heart never completely left the seminary. While there he built the Cur House, a project that endures to this day as a refuge for seminarians. In 1980, he co-founded the St. Joseph’s- St. Patrick’s Col- lege Alumni Association, which is sustained in part by his generosity. He also answered the call of the President-Rector of St. Patrick’s, Rev. Gerald Coleman, S.S., to form a Board of Regents to help the Seminary financially. Harrington passed away in San Francisco on August 2, 2014, survived by his wife, Erishka, and four children. His vigil was in the main chapel of St. Patrick’s, officiated by his classmate, Fr. Dan Cardelli. Fr. Coleman was the main celebrant and homilist at the Mass of Christian Burial at Nativity Church. FRIENDS OF ST. PATRICK’S & ALUMNI OF ST. JOSEPH’S-ST. PATRICK’S

The evening began with a Rosary procession around the front of the seminary, which led into the chapel for mass presided by recent St. Patrick’s alum Rev. Jeff Fernandez. After Mass, a dinner was held in the refectory featuring Filipino cuisine. After dinner the Filipino seminarians of St. Patrick’s presented a video, followed by demonstrations of different cultural dances by a local group. Born in Manila, San Lorenzo Ruiz is the patron saint of the Philippines and of the Filipino people. He and his companions went as missionaries to Japan in the 17th century, but were met with persecution for their Christian faith. They refused to renounce their faith and were martyred. His last words before his death were: “I am a Catholic and wholeheartedly do accept death for the Lord; Had I a thousand lives, all these I shall offer to Him.”

NEW SEMINARIANS 2014 The St. Patrick’s community welcomed nine new men into their ranks this past fall. Some of these seminarians are experiencing seminary formation for the first time, while others have attended seminary elsewhere and are continuing their formation here at St. Patrick’s Seminary and University. We welcome them, and we ask you for your prayers for them as they discern their vocation and grow in formation.

“THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN...” ... at least that’s how one of our seminary formators described the return of our 2013-2014 Pastoral year seminarians. We welcome them back, and we look forward to all they have to share in terms of their fruitful and grace-filled parish experiences of parish life in their respective (arch)dioceses.

KOINONIA CUP 2014 CHAMPIONS A group of seminarians took part in the Annual Koinonia Cup held in Vallejo on Saturday, September 6. Κοινoνία is the greek word for fellowship, and fittingly Koinonia Cup is a Catholic Young Adult Fellowship Event where young adults join together in prayer, network with other Catholic young adult groups, and battle in friendly competition. The seminarians participated for the first time this year, competing skillfully and with great vigor. When all the dust settled, they emerged from amongst the 12 other teams as the 2014 Koinonia Cup Champions.

PATRICIAN MAGAZINE | FALL 2014 25 INSTALLATION OF NEW ACOLYTES 2014 On Thursday, October 16, 2014, fifteen men were installed as Acolytes during an evening Mass. These fifteen second year Theology seminarians were installed as Acolytes, which means they are now able to serve at mass, preside Lauds or Vespers, give reflections during Vespers, expose and repose the Blessed Sacrament and take Communion to the sick and homebound. This is one small step in the overall formation for priestly ordination. Congratulations to these men. Let us continue to pray for them.

ALTAR FOR THE DEAD As pat of the celebration for All Souls Day, the Hispanic community arranged an Altar for the Dead for the departed loved ones of the seminary community. The Altar of the Dead is more than a mere tradition rooted in the Pre-Hispanic Mexican Culture. It is an opportunity for communion, awareness, and prayer. After attending Mass and visiting the cemetery, families get together around the altar, built before All Hallows Eve, to remember their loved ones who have left this earthly life. In this sense, the altar is a sign, a reminder that this life is temporal, and that we must be ready for the end of this earthly pilgrimage. But most importantly, the altar is an invitation to pray for the souls of all who have gone before us, asking God, the giver of life, to forgive their earthly sins and grant them eternal rest. Sister Celina Cruz Benitez, OJS, is pictured with the altar below.

A popular tradition has developed at St. Patrick’s seminary. Just about every Friday afternoon any number of seminarians, all decked out in their cleats and shin guards, meet up at the sports field to play soccer, one of the most popular sports in the world. For the seminarians, this is a time for fraternity, exercise and of course, a little friendly competition. Chased by Deacon Edwin Sanchez and Quyen Truong, Anhvu Nguyen dribbles the ball down the field during a recent Friday soccer game as Mario Rizzo and Ronnie Manango look on.

LET’S PLAY SOCCER! Brothers share in fraternity, exercise and competition
