The Board of Trustees, the faculty and staff are deeply committed to our mission of forming priests, deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers for joyful service in the Church. To be formed and shaped by the Gospel is one of the blessed tasks that is entrusted to us. As you teach, study, pray, and engage in a wide variety of ministries during your time at Sacred Heart and beyond, I invite you to share in the holy disposition of Blessed Solanus Casey who encour- aged us to ‘thank God ahead of time.’ In the Sacred Heart Major Seminary Bulletin, you will find all the necessary information regarding our policies and programs. In addition, be assured that our faculty and staff will be ready to assist you with any questions you may have as you consider the exciting opportunities ahead of you.
