Biographical/Historical Note ____________________________________________________________________________ St. Joseph’s Seminary, also referred to as the Dunwoodie Seminary, is located in Yonkers, NY. It is the seminary of the Archdiocese of New York as well as the Diocese of Brooklyn and the Diocese of Rockville Centre. It is a center for spiritual learning, where young men partake in the training necessary for the priesthood. The cornerstone for St. Joseph’s was laid in 1891 by Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan, with the first scholastic year beginning for ninety-eight students on September 21, 1896. Prior to the construction of St. Joseph’s, the Archdiocese’s seminaries were located much further away from New York City, where the archbishops reside. This made the need for the construction of St. Joseph’s great, and required the help of the parishes and the people of the Archdiocese to come together to fundraise the necessary money. In the beginning of the Seminary’s existence, until 1906, it was under the direction of 2 Last updated 12.14.2015 Guide to the Seminaries: St. Joseph’s, Dunwoodie Collection Collection Number 013.003 priests of the Society of Saint Sulpice. Since 1906, the Seminary has been directed by the Archdiocese and its diocesan priests. The administration at St. Joseph’s consists of the Rector, the director of Intellectual Formation, the Directors of Spiritual Formation, the Director of Human Formation, the Dean of Admissions the Director of Pastoral Formation, the Director of Assessment, the Director of Library Services, the Registrar, the Director of Development, the Director of Finance, the Vocations Directors and the Board of Trustees. Numerous renovations occurred after the initial construction of the Seminary. In 1907, a new residence was built, allowing for men to attend the Seminary from further away. The Archbishop Corrigan Memorial Library was completed in 1953. The chapel and altar were restored in 1983 and dedicated by Cardinal John O’Connor 1984. St. Joseph’s Seminary has witnessed numerous monumental events such as the papal visit of Pope John Paul II in 1995 and the papal visit of Pope Benedict XVI in 2008. St. Joseph’s has also been the site of numerous retreats, meetings and celebrations. The seminary celebrated its centennial in 1996 with different events, masses and convocations. Students who attend St. Joseph’s Seminary focus on the four primary pillars of priesthood: human formation, spiritual formation, intellectual formation and pastoral formation. Throughout the Seminary’s existence, ordained priests have been sent all over the country and even all over the world. Places such as Georgetown University, Catholic University in Ponce Puerto Rico and the North American College in Rome have received St. Joseph’s alumni who want to continue their education. Since 1977, St. Joseph’s Seminary has offered a graduate theological degree program to lay people, making St. Joseph’s an institution for both religious and lay people. St. Joseph’s Seminary and College has accreditation from the Board of Regents of the State of New York, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the Association of Theological Schools in the US and Canada. Today the Seminary offers a Master of Divinity, Bachelor of Sacred Theology, Master of Arts in Theology, Pastoral Studies, Catholic Philosophical Studies, and Religious Studies Scope & Content Note ____________________________________________________________________________ The collection consists of mixed materials dating back to the original planning of St. Joseph’s Seminary in the late 1880s and extends to the early 2000s.

  • Bishop Ronald G. Connors, C.Ss.R. Papers
    Bishop Ronald G. Connors, C.Ss.R. Papers Baltimore Province of the Redemptorists Archives 7509 Shore Road Brooklyn, New York 11209-2807 The scope of the papers of Bishop Ronald G. Connors, C.Ss.R., a member of the Baltimore Province of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, encompasses letters, manuscripts (including a lengthy memoir), notebooks, articles, news clippings, audio recordings, ecclesiastical paraphernalia, and photographs, dating from c. 1904 to 2002, the year of his death. The collection is especially important— however partial—for research on the history of the Catholic Church in the Dominican Republic. Of particular interest are the numbers of items related to the condition of the poor, which the Bishop articulated in his notebooks. The entirety of the collection is open to qualified researchers, though a caution is given herewith relative to somewhat indelicate materials found in one folder. Consultation of these materials will be at the discretion of the Province Archivist. Biography: Ronald Gerard Connors was born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 1, 1915 to William J. and Gertrude (neé Lundrigan) Connors, two émigrés from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia. His siblings included Alfred F. and Mary G. (Burke) Connors, and a brother who pre-deceased them, a Redemptorist confrere, Father William J. Connors, C.Ss.R. (d. 1974). The sacraments of initiation were all taken in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, Brooklyn, New York, beginning with his baptism on November 14, 1915. He went through the primary grades at OLPH and, having been taught by Sisters of St. Joseph and having pious parents, a priestly vocation was cultivated.

  • History New York State Catholic Conference
    A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK STATE CATHOLIC CONFERENCE 1916 – 1968 Spring 2007 A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK STATE CATHOLIC CONFERENCE 1916 – 1968 P R E F A C E In recent years, more attention has been given to a well-kept secret within the Catholic Church and society more generally – the important role played by State Catholic Conferences of Bishops in influencing public policy in this country. While a common perception among those aware of the existence of State Catholic Conferences is that the major focus of the activity of the Catholic Conferences has been on abortion and other life issues, this perception distorts the picture of actual State Catholic Conference activities. While there has been appropriate attention to life issues, State Catholic Conferences have also focused on a variety of issues relating to an important principle of Catholic Social Teaching – the preferential option for the poor. State Catholic Conferences have had significant input on public policy debates on such issues as welfare-to-work programs, access to health care, immigration legislation, criminal justice reform and the like. As the first State Catholic Conference organized in the United States, the New York State Catholic Conference has played a pivotal role, not only in its considerable influence in the evolution of public policy in New York State, but also in serving as a model for the creation of other State Catholic Conferences in the country. This volume is the first in a series of documents chronicling the history of the New York State Catholic Conference. This volume describes the public policy advocacy activities of the Catholic Church in the state from its first organized activities in 1916 until the state Bishops formally created a State Catholic Conference in 1968.

  • WNET Licensing (A's)
    The “A’s” (Source: NET microfiche, unless listed) Aaron Copland Meets the Soviet Composers (1959) Initial Broadcast: N/A Number of programs: 1 Origin Format: Undetermined Running time: 30 minutes AARON COPLAND MEETS THE SOVIET COMPOSERS is a half-hour studio production kinescope of an interview between Copland and six Soviet musicians, musicologists and/or composers who were travelling in the US. My impression is that this was a visit in return for one made to the USSR by an American group earlier that included Menned (?), Sessions, Harris and Kay (?). The setting for the interview is a recreated concert hall stage with the guests sitting in players’ chairs and Copland and his translator located where a solo instrumentalist would be seated. The questions appear to have been scripted in advance – and scripts placed on the music stands. The responses from the Soviets appear to have been ad lib. Copland’s questions were translated into Russian by an American (?) of Russian origins, Nicholas Slonimsky, himself a musician. The Soviets spoke in Russian and were heard through simultaneous translation. The translator was unseen and uncredited. The Soviet guests include (in order of answering questions): Dmitri Kabalevsky, Boris Yarustovsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Konstantin Dankevich and Fikret Amirov. Kabalevsky was asked about the knowledge of American music in the USSR; Yarustovsky on the influence of American music on Russian music; Khrennikov on the reactions of Soviet musicians to the visit of four American musicians earlier (in the exchange program?); Shostakovich on American jaZZ and its influence; Dankevich on younger Soviet composers and Amirov on the adaption of native musical types to series music.
