Catalog 2014-2015

Catalog 2014-2015 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

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 evangelization 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.

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 preparation 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 presumed 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 ministries with full use of the many options and expressions that reveal the richness of the Roman Rite. The seminarians assist in planning each liturgy to learn how to consider the pastoral circumstances 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 pray Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer each day as a community. The community gathers on a weekly basis to pray Night Prayer (PPF 117, 119). • The regular and frequent celebration of the Sacrament of Penance is an expectation of priestly formation and a requirement for ongoing conversion.

Instruments of Formation “Every seminary is required to offer a coordinated program of pastoral formation that forms candidates for the priesthood who are able to support men and women in answering the universal call to holiness” (PPF 242).

Apostolic Works Program • Every seminarian is assigned to an apostolic work supervised by onsite coordinators. The expectation is for each seminarian to assist in ministry for at least one hour per week. • The director of apostolic works, a member of the formation faculty of the seminary, oversees the program. • A seminarian site chairman is selected by the director of apostolic works for each site at the beginning of the academic year. These chairmen are the liaisons between their site and the Josephinum. They are expected to be not only role models for their peers, but exemplary ambassadors of the college to the surrounding community. It is their responsibility to schedule visits, report mileage, convey messages to and from the Josephinum, and note

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 contribution. 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 $4000 per year for collegians ($20,000 maximum aggregate) and up to $6,000 per year for graduate seminarians ($40,000 maximum aggregate) are provided jointly by the college 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 participates 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 performance.

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.

88 | THE PONTIFICAL COLLEGE JOSEPHINUM THE CITY The Josephinum is in Columbus the capital of Ohio since 1812 and a diocesan see city since 1868. Columbus is easily accessible, a hub for numerous airlines and a junction of two important interstate highways.

Since 1931, the seminary has been situated 11 miles north of 161 downtown Columbus, just north of Worthington, Ohio, a prosperous and fast-growing suburb of Columbus. Within a few hundred yards of the seminary property is I-270, which circles the city and is readily accessible. This makes for easy access to the Columbus freeway system, and to the parishes, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and other sites where seminarians gain pastoral experience. The Columbus metropolitan area offers many cultural attrac- tions. Seminarians are encouraged to attend off-campus lectures, forums, seminars, plays, operas, films, etc. Reduced rates are available at many galleries and theaters in Columbus. Educational institutions, which afford many such programs, include The Ohio State University, Capital University, Franklin University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Ohio Dominican University, Otterbein College, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, and the Methodist Theological School in Ohio. All are within an easy drive of the seminary.
