As disciples, not only do we proclaim that Jesus is risen, we also give witness to the way in which his mercy transforms our hearts and calls us to conversion. As you engage in the intellectual formation at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, I encourage you to commend all of your work to the Sacred Heart, and ask that through your studies, you may become alive with a deeper knowledge and love of the living God. In this Bulletin you will find all the necessary information regarding policies and programs at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. The program goals, policies, and information articulate the many opportunities you will have, but also be assured that each department is ready to assist you personally as you move through our programs. It is a joy to welcome you to Sacred Heart, and be assured of our prayerful support. Sincerely in Christ, Very Rev. Msgr. Todd J.
