  • Fall 2020 Newsletter
    VOLUME 7, NO. 2 • FALL 2020 NOTRE DAME SEMINARY Graduate School of Theology Priestly Formation in Times of Crisis Inside n Acompaño Mission Trip n Diaconate Internship n First Year of Priesthood message from our rector Dear Friends: The Year 2020 has certainly been challenging times in our world. The pandemic, social unrest in our nation, seven named hurricanes that hit the Gulf South, clergy scandals, political turmoil, increased attacks on Christians around the world, and the COVID illnesses that affected our sem- inary community. Yet, the year ends with the great Solemnity of All Saints, the Commemoration of All Souls, the Solemnity of Christ the King, the joy of Advent, and the Christmas Season. All of these celebrations reflect the Victory of the Cross and the Unbreakable Covenant of God’s love for us. The mission of priestly formation becomes even more clear as we prepare shepherds in times of pastoral crisis. Very Rev. James A. Wehner While the seminary can boast of increased enrollment, the moral and unwavering responsi- Rector/President bility is to prepare men who are truly prepared to take on the life and ministry of ordained priest- hood. It is easy for any vocation to be exercised in times of tranquility but married and family life, those in consecrated life, those living the single life, and those in ordained ministry all must live their vocations with fidelity when we experience crisis, uncertainty, and confusion. I commend our seminarians for their steadfast commitment to the high standards of priestly formation. Our faculty and staff have discharged their responsibilities with flexibility and loyalty.

  • Formation Handbook 2021-2022
    NOTRE DAME SEMINARY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY FORMATION HANDBOOK 2021-2022 i August 1, 2021 Dear Seminarians: The seminary community is truly a home where the Word of God nourishes, sustains, and grows your faith as a believer and disciple of Jesus Christ. As Our Lady and Saint Joseph cared for Jesus, the Word Incarnate, in a homestead where Our Lord grew in wisdom and strength so too does your priestly vocation. The Church envisions the seminary as a real, constitutive community after that of the apostolic community which was comprised by those first apostles chosen by Jesus Christ as they learned and witnessed the events of our salvation. While each of you belong to your diocesan Church or religious community, it is here at Notre Dame Seminary where your connection to Christ and the Universal Church is made possible while you discern a priestly vocation. In short, Notre Dame Seminary is not accidental to your status as a seminarian rather is a most essential element of it. Indeed, this community is an apostolic community intended by our Lord, Jesus Christ. As a visible community and society of believers, we must observe structure, common discipline, and a way of life that enables you to facilitate a healthy prayer life, a well-formed intellectual formation, personal human growth, and a heart of a future shepherd. This handbook represents the commitment of the Church to you as envisioned by the governing documents of priestly formation, particular the USCCB’s Program of Priestly Formation and the Holy See’s Ratio Fundamentalis. Since every community is organic by nature, this handbook does not capture every aspect of community life.

  • Notre Dame Seminary Begins Its 92Nd Year with 126 Seminarians Great Beginnings Last a Lifetime
    DEUS PROVIDEBIT VOL. 3, NO. 1 FALL 2015 Notre Dame Seminary Begins Its 92nd Year with 126 Seminarians Great beginnings last a lifetime. This is a theme the faculty and I introduce to the new sem- inarians. If each seminarian embraces priestly formation with intention, courage, serious- ness, and with much deliberation, they will proceed in the program as a better man, a better Christian, a better disciple of Jesus. The spiritual life of the seminarian is what motivates him to discern a priestly vocation. Human formation is how a seminarian understands his God-given dignity but also those areas that need to be purified – for our Lord promises: Blessed are the pure of heart, they shall see God. The academic program exposes the semi- narians to the great Tradition of the Church rooted in God’s Word. Finally, the goal of priestly formation is the pastoral mission of the Church. Pope Francis has shepherded the Church to be a Body of Christ in which all people can experience the mercy of God. Priests embody this mercy in the sacramental life of the Church as well as shepherds striving after the heart of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. As Notre Dame Seminary celebrates this 92nd year of excellence as we prepare future priests of the Church, we thank our bishops, vocation di- rectors, benefactors, families and friends of our seminarians as we together support the seminarians in their discernment. Pg. 2 Notre Dame Seminary Ten Countries at NDS Sylvester Adoga and Brother Augustine Odhiambo, Seminarians NDS welcomed 40 new seminarians to Orientation Week on August 16, 2015.

  • Koch Foundation 2012 Annual Report
    Mission Statement Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the finances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization efforts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but financially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Carl and Paula Koch 2 Letter From The Executive Director The Holy Father has called for a Year of Faith from 11 October 2012 until 24 November 2013, the Solemnity of Christ the King. This Year of Faith coincides with two important anniversaries of our Church: the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican Council II, called by Blessed Pope John XXIII on 11 October 1962 and the 20th anniversary of the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church by Blessed Pope John Paul II on 11 October 1992. Pope Benedict XVI encourages each of us to familiarize ourselves with some of the basic documents that followed the council. He suggests we begin with Gaudium Et Spec and include some of the encyclicals of John Paul II, such as Laboren Exercents and Sollicitude Rei Socialis. Participation in these components of the Year of Faith will provide us, as Disciples of Christ, with the means to enhance our understanding of the foundations of our faith. Becoming familiar with the Catechism of the Catholic Church during the Year of Faith will lead us naturally to be more effective witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
