In addition to their academic studies, seminarians spend these years focused on their human formation—maturing in their relationship with the Lord and their decision to follow Him. They are also assigned to serve in an apostolate in the field of health care or assisted living. Pre-Theology I Classes Pre-Theology II Classes . ANTHROPOLOGY . INTRO TO OLD & NEW TESTAMENTS .

GREEK “Diving academically into the faith as I’d never done before excited and motivated me. It helped deepen my faith convictions and opened new avenues of thought to share with believers, non-believers and, God willing, future parishioners.” Matthew Ockinga, Diocese of Yakima MUNDELEIN SEMINARY ANNUAL REPORT n 2018 3 Theology I As a seminarian begins his theological studies, he is focused on his configuration to Christ— allowing the sentiments and attitudes of Christ to arise in his own heart. In addition to classes and formation sessions, first-year theologians begin spending ample time at their teaching parishes, where they engage with the parishioners and a mentor pastor. They also declare their candidacy for the priesthood and are installed to the order of acolytes, granting them the responsibility of assisting priests and deacons in the Eucharistic celebration.

They continue to take classes and engage in youth ministry at their teaching parishes.

This journey culminates with a nine-week study-pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where the Sacred Scriptures come alive for them and they grow in their understanding of what it means to be a priest.

Spending a semester in the Holy Land was also a tremendous blessing.” Deacon John Hoang, Diocese of San Jose 6 MUNDELEIN SEMINARY ANNUAL REPORT n 2018 USML.EDU Theology IV The fourth-year seminarian serves as a deacon at his teaching parish, continuing his pastoral formation, celebrating the sacraments of marriage and baptism, proclaiming the Gospel and preaching homilies, and providing liturgical and catechetical assistance to his mentor pastor.

This innovative program immerses our seminarians in parish life throughout their time in seminary. Students are assigned to one of more than 80 teaching parishes in the Archdiocese of Chicago and nearby dioceses. By spending their entire seminary tenure at the same parish, they are able to form true bonds with parishioners and fully invest themselves in the life of the parish. Our seminarians spend time each week at their teaching parishes—learning practical and pastoral “This program gives us the skills from experienced mentor pastors, participating in opportunity to enter into Masses and parish events, getting to know parishioners personally, and gaining a better understanding of very real-life ministerial what it takes to shepherd a community of faith. experiences with the people While the Teaching Parish Program is an essential educational experience, it is also an opportunity for at our teaching parishes, and our seminarians to enrich local parishes through then bring those insights back their presence and spiritual gifts.

DVD Speaker: The Reverend Frank DeSiano, CSP The Paulist Fathers Jamaica Estates, New York The interactive quality of the Eucharist that we celebrate gives clues about what God asks of us. By responding at the Eucharist, and living our response, we orient ourselves to the Kingdom of God by committing ourselves to be disciples. The Offertory of the Mass, one of the key points of response and commitment, is poorly appropriated by Catholics. The dynamic of the Mass, as well, gives important direction for how a parish itself lives its mission of self-offering. Closing Keynote Address – From Attitude to Action Time: 55 min. DVD Speaker: The Reverend John Lanzrath Director, Office of Stewardship Diocese of Wichita, Kansas Jesus Christ invites each of us by name to follow Him. Stewardship is a life-long response of a grateful disciple to follow Christ, to imitate Christ, to be formed in the heart of Christ, to bring others to Christ. This presentation is founded in the words that St. Paul shares with the Philippians, “Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5) 2007 ICSC Conference – September 23 -26, Miami, FL Opening Keynote Address – Stewardship, A Disciple’s Response Time: 45 min.

  • Baccalaureate Mass 2013 Carroll College Bishop George Leo
    Baccalaureate Mass 2013 Carroll College Bishop George Leo Thomas THE FIFTH FORCE Fifty years ago, Bishop Raymond G. Hunthausen, the former priest-President of Carroll College, and sixth Bishop of Helena, participated all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. At age 91, he is now the last living American Father of the Council. Upon his final return from Rome, Bishop Hunthausen ushered in dramatic and unprecedented change into the Diocese of Helena. These changes impacted not only the rhythm of life in the Diocese, but also directly and dramatically affected the life and structures of Carroll College. Many of those changes were immediate and simple to describe, visibly and directly impacting the clergy and laity in their everyday lives: The Bishop introduced a vision of shared responsibility, where priests and laity were asked, or more accurately, expected, to collaborate together in a new and untested model of leadership. This was a radical departure from a formerly all clerical leadership structure, and introduced a new vocabulary into Church—unheard words like “collaboration,” ”consultation,” and “collegiality,” to name a few. This vision gave rise to parish and finance councils in the Diocese, and new structures like the Faculty Council and the Board of Trustees at Carroll College. Bishop Hunthausen encouraged a new level of ecumenical and interfaith dialogue among religious leaders of all persuasions, a major change in a Church that was distinguished by a highly honed skill of talking to itself. In the next decade, Carroll began to describe itself “as a Catholic diocesan college in the ecumenical tradition.” Bishop Hunthausen introduced the vernacular into the liturgy, which proved to be a welcome change for most, but provoked strong reaction by others who had grown accustomed to hearing Latin as the only liturgical language they had ever known.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.

    VISION PROGRESS AND PLANS AT ST. LAURENCE HIGH SCHOOL SPRING 2020 2020 Annual Report Pre-Proof Highlighting Illinois State Scholars Alumni Updates Letter from the President Celebrating growth in our school community Dear Friends of St. Laurence, St. Laurence is proud of its most recent accomplishments. We live our mission and provide a Catholic education to our students. Most importantly, we embrace our values of compassion, courage, excellence and community. How do we do this? During a time of transformation, there is one constant – growth. After another successful entrance exam, St. Laurence is on track to have sustainable growth by accepting 250 incoming freshmen per year. In addition, since we stand up for what is right, we continue to minimize tuition cost increases and remain one of the most valuable Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese – nearly $2,000 more affordable than any of our peer institutions. Transformation requires courageous leaders. These leaders rallied the community and remained brave when confronted with uncertainty. I want to thank our entire community as we finish our third year of a successful co-educational transition. In the next two years, we will grow to over 900 students with over 40% of them being female! As we pursue excellence in all endeavors, our academic growth is off the charts! Our teachers and students embrace a growth mindset, which leads to achievement. Academic programs are producing students that improve an average of 15 national percentile points from entrance exam to ACT. In 2021, we will become one of three Catholic high schools in Illinois to be an International Baccalaureate World School upon completing our candidacy phase.
