From the Rector
Please look to the Around Campus, Recent News section of our web-site
for an announcement and some news about our new Rector and some new faculty
appointments!
Speaking in New York Pope Benedict XVI encouraged American seminarians:
"The People of God look to you to be holy priests, on a daily journey
of conversion, inspiring in others the desire to enter more fully into the
ecclesial life of believers. " If you are a man considering a vocation
to the priesthood I hope that these pages will give you some insight into
our seminarians’ daily journey of conversion toward the priesthood.
We call this a process of formation because the goal is that together we
may be formed more deeply into the image of Jesus Christ. As you will see
this formation involves all the elements of our life, a daily offering of
self for service to the People of God. Ultimately we pray that we may be
able to say with St. Paul "All this has been done by God, who has reconciled
us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation."
(2 COR. 5:18) God bless you and keep you, please remember our Seminary and
Seminarians in your prayers,
Fr. Brendan Cahill
Dear Friends, Welcome to the St. Mary’s Seminary web site. Established in 1901 our Seminary has been faithfully preparing men to
serve in the priesthood since its foundation. The need for more priests continues to be crucial for the growth of our Catholic faith.
As you view the information on this site please pray for the seminarians who are in formation for the priesthood. And please pray
for an abundance of vocations to join the ranks of these seminarians so that we may evangelize and proclaim the good news of salvation
to all people!
