Catalog 2015-2016 History Remembering the burdens and obstacles he encountered on his own journey to the priesthood, orphanage founder Monsignor John Joseph Jessing, a German immigrant and priest, wanted to give boys who were without financial means a way to answer their calling to the priesthood. In September 1888, he accepted 23 young men, and the College Josephinum, named for his patron, Saint Joseph, was established. On December 12, 1892, Pope Leo XIII granted pontifical status to the college, recognizing the growing importance the American continent held for the continuing spread of the gospel. From its original campus on East Main Street in downtown Columbus, the Pontifical College Josephinum moved to its present location on North High Street in 1931. Table of Contents

CATALOG 2015-16 | v MISSION STATEMENT The Josephinum is a Roman Catholic seminary whose mission is to prepare men for the ordained priesthood through human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation. The seminary consists of two academic divisions: The College of Liberal Arts and The School of Theology, which includes the Pre-Theology Program. The Josephinum is a pontifical institution immediately subject to the Holy See, through the Apostolic Nuncio, and gov- erned by the Board of Trustees. Its programs follow the norms established by the Code of Canon Law, the Congregation for the Clergy, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Continuing the vision of its founder, Msgr. Joseph Jessing, the Josephinum seeks to prepare priests for the new evange- lization and to serve the pastoral needs of the Church. In fidelity to this vision, the Josephinum provides resources to prepare candidates for the priesthood, enabling them to respond to the particular needs of their local communities. The Josephinum shares its resources with the wider Church by promoting vocations and by offering continuing education to clergy and laity.

The advisors offer feedback about gen- eral perceptions shared by both the faculty and seminarians while also challenging the seminarian to develop a spirituality conso- nant with the public expectations of pastoral ministry. • Spiritual directors who serve in the internal forum and contrib- ute to the spiritual formation of the seminarian by directing him to learn more about the spiritual patrimony of the Church with devotion to the saints, particularly Our Lady, evaluating the proper discipline needed in developing a spirituality consistent with diocesan priesthood, encouraging meditation and reflection on the Word of God contained in the sacred scriptures and deter- mining how the seminarian can celebrate the sacrament of pen- ance on a regular and frequent basis. Spiritual formation in the seminary seeks to lay the foundation for men who will be ordained to the diocesan priesthood and will be given an assignment by the diocesan bishop to carry out the pastoral mission of the Church. In the College of Liberal Arts the immediate goal of spiritual formation is oriented to discernment and prepara- tion for theological training. Ultimately, however, it is oriented to preparing seminarians for priestly ministry. The newly ordained priest will have cultivated in his seminary formation those habits, attitudes, practices, and disciplines which will enable him to shoulder the burdens and celebrate the joys of priestly ministry. The Pontifical College Josephinum includes opportunities for spiritual formation and development in its regular programming and scheduling. The personal accountability of the seminarian is pre- sumed and so he is to avail himself of all the opportunities at his disposal for discernment and formation. • The celebration of the Mass is the source and summit of Christian life and the wellspring of priestly formation. Daily participation at Mass is expected of all seminarians. Seminarians participate in the seminary community Mass by carrying out liturgical minis- tries with full use of the many options and expressions that reveal the richness of the Roman Rite. The seminarians assist in plan- ning each liturgy to learn how to consider the pastoral circum- stances of culture, the heritage of sacred music, and the integrity of the liturgy itself (PPF 110, 118). • The Liturgy of the Hours sets the daily rhythm of prayer for all priests.

Seminarians who seek to draw closer to Christ and live in intimate communion with him must draw daily nourishment from the scriptures. The prayerful med- itation on the Word of God (lectio divina) is encouraged as a daily practice (PPF 110, 123). • In order to foster growth in personal devotion and love for the Eucharist, seminarians are encouraged to spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

Conferences directly relate to cultivating a diocesan priestly spirituality. Since pastoral formation is concerned with the view to ministry, conferences challenge the seminarian to determine the ecclesial dimensions of how ministry is exercised in the Church. Additionally, homilies given by the priest celebrants always highlight the formative elements of discernment and prepa- ration for pastoral ministry in light of diocesan priestly spirituality. Formation Advising/Spiritual Direction: The seminarian explores with his formation advisor and spiritual director his understanding of ministry and the necessary formation needed to carry out the work of the Church. Skills and qualifications are discussed even though discernment and formation are at initiatory stages.

DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM FOR THE PERMANENT DIACONATE The Josephinum is accredited to offer comprehensive distance learning education. Distance learning is the educational process or system in which the instructor is separated geographically or in time from the learn- ers, or in which learners are separated from one another or from other educational resources. The Distance Learning Program for the Permanent Diaconate at the Josephinum is conducted via com- puter and electronic technology, connecting deacon-learners and course-facilitators in either real or delayed time. Program participants can fulfill the continuing-education requirements of the National Directory for the Life and Ministry of the Permanent Diaconate while avoiding the inconveniences of travel and time away from home and family. The distance learning programs developed by the Josephinum may be accessed through a home computer. Programs are specifically designed to operate effectively using commonly available software and require no costly additional investment on the part of the learner. Since many deacons are located in remote or rural communities where high speed connections may be limited, the Josephinum optimizes its programs to run efficiently on most systems.

68 | THE PONTIFICAL COLLEGE JOSEPHINUM GRANTS, LOANS, AND SCHOLARSHIPS Federal Pell Grant Program This grant is awarded only to undergraduate seminarians who have not earned a bachelor or professional degree, who have filed the FAFSA and demonstrated financial need. Currently, grant amounts range from $626 to $5,775. Pell grant moneys can be used only for tuition, room and board.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant – FSEOG The FSEOG is awarded first to those seminarians receiving a Pell Grant then to those seminarians with the lowest family contribu- tion. The FSEOG can range from $700 to $1,400. The grant can only be used for undergraduate tuition, room and board.

Federal Work-Study Program – FWS The FWS program provides jobs on campus for seminarians who have filed the FAFSA and demonstrated financial need. Qualified seminarians are placed in suitable positions (clerical, maintenance, kitchen, library, etc.) for at least minimum wage. Seminarians may work a maximum of 20 hours per week while school is in session. Paychecks are distributed monthly to assist with personal and living expenses. No advances are given.

Ohio College Opportunity Grant – OCOG Ohio resident undergraduates who are first time freshman and check the appropriate state box indicating Ohio residency on the FAFSA will be considered for this need-based grant. Applications must be completed prior to the State of Ohio’s deadline of October 1.

Federal Perkins Loan Funds up to $4,000 per year for collegians ($20,000 maxi- mum aggregate) and up to $6,000 per year for graduate seminarians ($40,000 maximum aggregate) are provided jointly by the Josephi- num and the federal government to make long-term, low-interest (5%) loans to seminarians with financial need. Loans are contingent upon levels of funding.

Federal Direct Loan Since July 1, 2010, the Josephinum has participated in the William D. Ford Federal Director Loan Program. In this program, the United States Department for Education lends money directly to seminarians and parents through the Josephinum. The amount of these low interest loans are based on financial need and academic grade level.

Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency – PHEAA Seminarians from Pennsylvania may apply to PHEAA for this state grant. Applications may be obtained directly from PHEAA’s web site at www.pheaa.com.

1 This is the general standard of the accrediting bodies of the Josephinum and the Ohio Department of Education. 2 The following guidelines may offer further assistance, particularly in philosophy and theology courses, and are offered for faculty members’ consideration (course readings vary widely in complexity and difficulty, and faculty must use their professional judgment in assigning readings): The reading for class sessions should not exceed on average the equivalent of forty (40) pages of actual reading per week for three (3) credit courses and a proportional number for one and a half (1½) credit courses in both houses. Thus many more pages can be assigned if the actual texts to be read within these pages do not exceed this total. If there are no papers assigned in a course, an additional ten (10) such pages of reading can be assigned on average per week.
