The Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity Summer 2016 ORACLEThe Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity summer 2016 2016 Ordiio Issue ORACLE | 1 fro the rector a new springtime As we enjoy these summer days, the great feeling that we have begun a new springtime for the local church brings joy and hope to our hearts. As a community, we recently celebrated the installation of our new chief shepherd Archbishop Bernard Hebda; we welcomed nine newly ordained men for service among us in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, as well as eight good men who were ordained for other dioceses; we continued the good work of the Institute for Diaconate Formation; and we launched the work of the new Institute for Ongoing Clergy Formation. We are grateful for each of these accomplishments that are a promise of many blessings and graces for the pastoral care of God’s people. e mission of the newly established Institute for Ongoing Clergy Formation is founded upon the profound truth that every priest is called to continued rebirth into the fullness of life in Christ. Indeed, continuing formation is, in reality, the very living out of the priestly vocation; it is the way in which a priest will live the fullness of his union with Christ. e priest’s continuing formation is not simply a matter of professional technique; rather, as Pastores Dabo Vobis explains: “its ... aim must be that of promoting a grounded and integral process of constant growth, deepening Monsignor each of the aspects of formation – human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral Aloysius R. Callaghan – as well as ensuring their active and harmonious integration based on pastoral charity and in reference to it.” ere is a very specic and well-focused goal: “ongoing formation presents itself as a necessary means to the priest of today in order to achieve the aim of his vocation: the service of God and His people.” (Directory for the Life and Ministry of Priests) Our prayer now is that the Lord who has called us to this work will bring it to completion with an abundance of blessings and grace.

  • Ordination I
    ORACLE The Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity summer 2017 ssue 2017 Ordination I ORACLE | 1 fromm theheh rector the gift of the priestly vocation Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We have come to the end of another joyful ordination season. We celebrate with and give thanks for 21 men who now serve nine dioceses and one institute of religious life. They are priests forever according to the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:17). Priestly formation has always been at the heart of the Church. In 1992, St. John Paul II gifted seminaries around the world with a ground-breaking document on formation entitled Pastores Dabo Vobis. In 2013, Benedict XVI integrated the formation of seminarians and the ongoing formation of priests in his edict Ministrorum Institutio. And, in December 2016, by the encouragement of our Holy Father Pope Francis, the Congregation for the Clergy issued a new Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis, “The Gift of the Priestly Vocation,” last updated in 1985. This summer, Vice Rector Fr. Scott Carl and I attended the inaugural conference on this most recent document. Held in Rome and attended by more than 120 seminary representatives from the English-speaking world, we were among our counterparts from Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, the Philippines and the United States as we examined the document in order to provide the best formation possible for our future priests. Monsignor Aloysius R. Callaghan The foundational vision of the updated Ratio is the proposal of an integral formation, capable of helping a candidate grow in maturity in each dimension of formation – human, intellectual, spiritual, pastoral – and introducing him to a “permanent experience of discipleship” that gradually configures him to Christ the Good Shepherd.

Only 10% of Catholic millennials are attending Mass .
