FifteenthSunday in Ordinary Time July 10, 2016

My brothers and sisters at St. Rose, it is so good to be back. I really enjoyed the summer last year and to return to a warm, familiar community is really nice. The year flew by. It was my third at the Pontifical North American College in . With Alex joining us, his joyful presence added much to an already solid group of Paterson seminarians. His cooking was especially welcomed by the seminary community at large and he was so eager to serve in that way. The year started with conferences on preaching and counseling through the month of September, which ended just before our annual class retreat. It was a week-long silent retreat at the same center where Pope Francis has been going for his retreats. Afterwards, the seminary prepared for the ordination of about 35 new at St. Peter’s in Vatican City. The reality began to set in that I would be ordained a there in less than a year. The academic year began the following week. It was back to lectures in Italian at the Pontifical Gregorian University. With the start of the new academic year came the start of a new outreach teaching a First Communion class at the English-speaking parish of Santa Susanna. The children were such a joy to be with, even when they were difficult. They were mostly Italian children whose parents wanted them to grow up knowing English. Over Christmas break I went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Thanks so much to so many of you who came to the Bible Study, your generous gifts helped to make the pilgrimage financially possible. You know how much I love Scripture and to be able to go to the Holy Land adds a whole new dimension to reading the Bible. Galilee was particularly meaningful for me, as it was the place where Jesus called His disciples and did most of his ministry. It was a great opportunity to reflect on my own beginnings with the Lord, remembering His tender mercies in my life, what He has brought me through and the love that drew me to Him. The rest of the year was marked by the usual challenges of coursework and seminary formation, but the added twist of an approaching ordination made it very unique. I had a final evaluation before the entire seminary faculty who voted on whether to recommend me to Bishop Serratelli for ordination. To prepare for the evaluation required reflections on the promises made at ordination (prayer, celibacy, and obedience), reflections on growth in difference areas of seminary formation (human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral), as well peer evaluations from other seminarians. It was intense and drove home for me how serious the Church is about the care of the people of God. In the end, the seminary faculty has recommended me to Bishop Serratelli who has officially called me to Orders. The prospect of being a priest comes with so many mixed feelings, especially in light of the anticipated challenges of ministering to a culture that seems more and more estranged from God. It can be daunting at times, but I am confident that Christ has called me and this is the source of joy in any vocation. If He has called me, I know He will provide for my every need. So I ask you for your prayers to be a loving, wise, humble, courageous and holy priest of Jesus Christ in service to His people. I look forward to another summer with you who have really become a new family for me in the Diocese of Paterson. Seminarian Andrew
