St. Mary's Seminary & University Annual Report 2017 ST. MARY ’ S SEMINARY&UNIVERSITY Annual Report 2017 1 A N EW ERA IN SEMINARY FORMATION The Congregation for Clergy, the department of the Holy See that oversees seminary formation, recently issued a new Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis containing the Vatican’s guidelines for seminary programs. This represents the initiation of a new era in seminary formation that takes into consideration the evolution of seminary programs and social and Rev. Phillip J. Brown, P.S.S. cultural changes that have occurred since the last Ratio in 1970 following the Second Vatican President Rector Council, and Pope St. John Paul II’s Pastores Dabo Vobis in 1992, both of which gave norms and guidance for seminary programs. Because these are so essential for the work we do, I wanted to let you know a little about this important new document and how it will affect St. Mary’s. Pastores dabo vobis has been the most important document for seminary formators and administrators since 1992. Pastores dabo vobis is the first official document that spoke of the “four pillars” of formation: Human; spiritual; intellectual; and pastoral. This year's Annual Report illuminates the ways our program integrates the four pillars. While Pastores dabo vobis alludes to the process of formation, its main emphasis is on the content of formation programs; hence the “four pillars” referred to on the pages that follow. The new Ratio , on the other hand, shifts emphasis to the process of formation, speaking of four “stages” of formation while not abandoning the content of the “four pillars” upon which sound formation must be anchored. These four “stages” are: A propaedeutic stage; the discipleship stage; the “configuration” stage; and the stage of pastoral integration. The “propaedeutic” stage is something new. It takes into consideration that many young men come to the seminary today with inadequate education and formation in the Catholic faith itself to prepare them for seminary studies and formation. The Ratio calls for a preparatory period of at least one and not more than two years before a man enters the seminary that focuses on what it means to have a prayer and a spiritual life, and that gives participants a grounding in basic Catholic beliefs and practices. There is also an awareness that many who want to enter seminary today need attention to certain aspects of basic human formation to be ready to study for the priesthood. St. Mary’s is working aggressively to develop an introductory and initiatory program to the propaedeutic experience that will help dioceses begin the propaedeutic stage with their seminarians. You will hear more about this program, which we intend to launch next summer (2019). The “discipleship” stage corresponds to the current philosophy and pre-theology stages of formation; the “configuration” stage to what occurs currently during theological studies. The “integration” stage concerns the period after ordination and during the first assignment when a newly ordained deacon or priest seeks to “integrate” all that he has learned and been formed into his skill set, style and lifestyle as a pastoral caregiver. The new Ratio offers exciting new possibilities and challenges to seminary formation. Most of its approach is already a part of the way we do formation at St. Mary’s. What is new should fit well into our Sulpician approach to formation. This truly is a new era in seminary formation, filled with wonderful and exciting opportunities for improving the way we prepare men to be ordained and to provide the People of God with the pastors they deserve. St. Mary’s is a leader in the seminary world. We look forward to creatively incorporating this exciting new vision into our seminary program. The Ecumenical Institute, celebrating 50 years of extraordinary theological education for men and women of all faiths in Baltimore and beyond, is a leader in the world of ecumenical and inter-faith education and formation. And St. Mary's Center for Continuing Formation, established in 1997, continues to develop innovative programs for clergy and religious leaders as well. We will do all of this with your help, our sponsors and benefactors, as we continue to give thanks to God for you, for our alumni, and for the many wonderful and generous ways you make this possible for the men and women we form, and for the Church we serve.

In his fully developed humanity, he was truly free and with complete freedom gave himself totally for the salvation of the world” (Program for Priestly Formation, 74). At the heart of sound human formation is the ability to relate and our relationship with one another. Jim Smith (Trenton) aims to land a perfect shot during the annual St. Mary’s Bocce Tournament held every year in the early fall as an important community- building event. 3 Seminarian Ryan Glenn (Scranton) leads a tour group during the bi-annual Family and Friends weekend, March 17, 2018.

Learning how to integrate one’s prayer life into the busy life of a priest is one of the primary goals of seminary formation.

Seminarians Jim Smith (Trenton), Ryan Glenn (Scranton), Scott Kady (Baltimore), and Brandon Feikles (Erie) share their personal witness of Jesus Christ and insights into the Word during their weekly faith-sharing group gathering. (One of many small faith- sharing groups that meet each week during the evening on the residence floors.) 6 In“Thet inteellectulal llife neourisches thte spuiritual alife, butl the spiritual also opens vistas of understanding, in accordance with the classical adage ‘credo ut intelligam’ (I believe in order to know). Intellectual formation is integral to what it means to be human” (Program for Priestly Formation, 136). Interactive learning is one of the key pedagogical tools utilized in St. Mary’s classrooms. In his Cultures class, Charles Onyeneke (Albany) takes the opportunity to share an aspect of his Nigerian culture as it intersects with American culture. This kind of analysis provides insight so that international seminarians may minister more effectively in the American Catholic Church. 7 Dr. Ximena DeBroeck, Assistant Professor of Sacred Scripture. Kyle Gorenski (Albany) listens intently during a lecture in Theological Anthropology. 8 Pa"I will gsive ytou sohepherds aftear my owl n heart” (Jer. 3:15). And God's "heart" has revealed itself to us fully in the heart of Christ the good shepherd. Christ's heart continues today to have compassion for the multitudes and to give them the bread of truth, the bread of love, the bread of life” (Pastores Dabo Vobis, 82). Sound pastoral formation is the pillar of formation around which and toward which the other pillars are directed for aspiring parish priests. Mark DeCelles (Scranton) and Tom Lanza (Metuchen) prepare to start their day at Mercy Hospital in down - town Baltimore. In the coming hours, they will spend time with a variety of patients, including the terminally ill, and their families. 9 James O’Reilly (Richmond) at his pastoral assignment, St. Mark Church in Fallston, MD, on Ash Wednesday. Paul Kongnyuy (Baltimore), works in the kitchen at Our Daily Bread in Baltimore City, which serves over 500 meals to the hungry each day. Men from St. Mary’s serve the poor at facilities run by Catholic Charities of Baltimore, the Missionaries of Charity, the Franciscan Sisters, and others. Each day in the life of a St. Mary’s seminarian integrates the four pillars of priestly formation, giving him a mature understanding of the priesthood and forming his priestly identity. This includes respect for every person, a sense of justice, truthfulness to his word, compassion, prudence, prayerfulness, and charity. 10 FINANCIAL SUMMARY July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017 REVENUES FROM CURRENT OPERATIONS Student Tuition and Fees $1,815,311 Gifts, Grants, Bequests and Donations (not including restricted gifts to other than current operations) 909,705 Contributed Services 167,784 Investment Income 3,457,902 Other Revenues 216,848 Auxiliary Enterprises 828,155 Total Revenues from Current Operations $7,395,705 EXPENDITURES Instructional $2,517,351 Student Services 556,357 Library 311,723 Associated Archives 116,851 General Institutional 475,617 Administrative 957,304 Operation and Maintenance of Physical Plant 709,431 Student Aid and Scholarships 558,953 Auxiliary Enterprises 220,814 Total Expenditures for Current Operations $6,454,401 Transfer to Plant and Endowment Funds $941,304 12 With Gratitude Archbishop Lori celebrates the opening Covenant Liturgy at the HERITAGE SOCIETY Ch.

In it, I asked the people of our Archdiocese to enter into a deeper relationship with Christ, to be not merely His disciples but His missionary disciples, extending the light of the Gospel to others among us so that they, too, could fully welcome His Word into their hearts. The Catholic Community Foundation is uniquely positioned to aid this evangelization effort for years to come. “Through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.” Established in 1998 by my predecessor, Cardinal William H. Keeler, the Catholic Community Foundation has grown to over 470 separate funds, each with its own unique purpose and benefit. Not only are our parishes well-represented and supported by the Foundation, so too are our Catholic schools, clergy, religious and a host of ministries that are critically integral to carrying out the Church’s evangelizing work. Indeed, through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.
