History<br />
The University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake/<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> is the major seminary <strong>and</strong><br />
graduate school <strong>of</strong> theology for the Archdiocese<br />
<strong>of</strong> Chicago. Over the years, this mission has<br />
exp<strong>and</strong>ed to include c<strong>and</strong>idates for the Archdiocese<br />
<strong>of</strong> Chicago as well as other dioceses within<br />
the United States <strong>and</strong> abroad. More than<br />
twenty-five other dioceses are represented in<br />
the University community.<br />
The University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake had<br />
its beginning in 1844 as Saint Mary's College.<br />
Founded by the Most Rev. William J. Quarter,<br />
D.D., the first bishop <strong>of</strong> Chicago, Saint Mary's<br />
College was granted a charter by the State <strong>of</strong><br />
Illinois, with power to confer the doctorate <strong>and</strong><br />
such academic or honorary degrees as are usually<br />
conferred by similar institutions. Chicago<br />
welcomed the University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Lake as the first chartered University in the city.<br />
At the same time the Divinity <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> the University<br />
was established ecclesiastically as a<br />
major seminary. At its height, the University<br />
included the College, the Divinity <strong>School</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />
affiliated Medical <strong>School</strong> <strong>and</strong> Law <strong>School</strong>. The<br />
University flourished until 1866, when financial<br />
difficulties forced it to close. The <strong>Seminary</strong> continued<br />
for another year, but suspended operations<br />
in 1867.<br />
In 1921, Archbishop George <strong>Mundelein</strong><br />
opened Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake <strong>Seminary</strong> under<br />
the original 1844 charter. Over the course <strong>of</strong><br />
fifteen years, sixteen buildings were constructed<br />
to complete the University campus. Archbishop<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong> was proud to display his new seminary<br />
when it was used as a site for the International<br />
Eucharistic Congress in 1926.<br />
In September 1929, Cardinal <strong>Mundelein</strong> obtained<br />
from the Sacred Congregation <strong>of</strong> Seminaries<br />
<strong>and</strong> Universities in Rome a five-year<br />
grant for the theological faculty to confer the<br />
baccalaureate, the licentiate <strong>and</strong> doctorate in<br />
theology. In September 1934, this temporary<br />
grant was made permanent, <strong>and</strong> the seminary<br />
became the first American institution to be honored<br />
as a Pontifical Theological Faculty under<br />
the new Apostolic Constitution Deus Scientiarum<br />
Dominus. The Monsignor Reynold H.<br />
Hillenbr<strong>and</strong> was Rector from 1936-1945, well<br />
known for his work in liturgical <strong>and</strong> social justice<br />
issues. In 1945, Samuel Cardinal Stritch replaced<br />
Monsignor Hillenbr<strong>and</strong> with Rev. Msgr.<br />
Malachy P. Foley, who served as Rector until<br />
1966.<br />
In 1961, under Albert Cardinal Meyer, the seminary<br />
opened a second campus in Niles, Illinois.<br />
This change involved harmonizing the ecclesiastical<br />
course <strong>of</strong> studies, which operated on a<br />
five- year minor seminary cycle <strong>and</strong> a seven<br />
year major seminary cycle with the American<br />
system <strong>of</strong> education. The Niles campus <strong>of</strong>fered<br />
liberal arts programs for the first two college<br />
years, while the <strong>Mundelein</strong> campus program<br />
encompassed upper-class college studies in<br />
philosophy followed by a four-year theology<br />
curriculum. Under Cardinal Meyer's successor,<br />
John Cardinal Cody, the undergraduate program<br />
was affiliated with Loyola University <strong>of</strong><br />
Chicago. Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake <strong>Seminary</strong>, now<br />
exclusively a graduate school <strong>of</strong> theology <strong>and</strong><br />
seminary <strong>and</strong> ecclesiastical faculty, under the<br />
leadership <strong>of</strong> Msgr. John Gorman (1966-1973),<br />
began a revision <strong>of</strong> the graduate <strong>and</strong> theological<br />
curriculum. The program which resulted from<br />
that revision continued to be implemented for<br />
more than a decade; its academic, formational,<br />
spiritual, <strong>and</strong> pastoral aspects guided by The<br />
Program <strong>of</strong> Priestly Formation <strong>of</strong> the National<br />
Conference <strong>of</strong> Catholic Bishops <strong>and</strong> the directives<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Congregation for Catholic Education.<br />
In 1971, Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake <strong>Seminary</strong> became<br />
affiliated with the Association <strong>of</strong> Theological<br />
<strong>School</strong>s. The Very Rev. Thomas Murphy<br />
was appointed the fifth Rector in September,<br />
1973. In 1976, in cooperation with the Archdiocese<br />
<strong>of</strong> Chicago's Center for Pastoral Ministry,<br />
the <strong>Seminary</strong> began a program <strong>of</strong> study leading<br />
to the Doctor <strong>of</strong> Ministry. Also in September, the<br />
<strong>Seminary</strong> celebrated at the Chapel <strong>of</strong> the Immaculate<br />
Conception the 50 th anniversary <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first ordination class to have been trained at<br />
Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
In July 1978, the Very Rev. James Keleher<br />
was appointed the sixth rector, replacing the<br />
Most Rev. Thomas Murphy, who was named<br />
Bishop <strong>of</strong> Great Falls-Billings, Montana.<br />
In the fall <strong>of</strong> 1982, under Archbishop Joseph<br />
Bernardin, the <strong>Seminary</strong> faculty initiated a thorough<br />
revision <strong>of</strong> the program which had been in<br />
place for ten years. The changes had as their<br />
4
goal the better implementation <strong>of</strong> objectives set<br />
forth in the third edition <strong>of</strong> The Program <strong>of</strong><br />
Priestly Formation (1981).<br />
In November 1984 the Most Rev. James Keleher<br />
was named Bishop <strong>of</strong> Belleville, Illinois by<br />
Pope John Paul II. In December, Cardinal Bernardin<br />
appointed the Very Rev. Gerald Kicanas<br />
as the seventh Rector <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake<br />
<strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
In April <strong>of</strong> 1986 Cardinal Bernardin announced<br />
the establishment <strong>of</strong> a new center for continuing<br />
education: The Center for Development in Ministry<br />
(CDM). The CDM's purpose would be the<br />
ongoing development <strong>of</strong> all those in ministry in<br />
the Archdiocese <strong>of</strong> Chicago. In addition, the<br />
new Center would host a variety <strong>of</strong> archdiocesan<br />
programs as a conference center. To recognize<br />
this evolution, the school resumed use <strong>of</strong><br />
the name “University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake”<br />
<strong>and</strong> renamed the graduate school <strong>of</strong> theology<br />
“<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>.” <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
CDM operated as two schools <strong>of</strong> the one university.<br />
Rev. Donald Nevins was appointed Vice<br />
Chancellor <strong>of</strong> the University.<br />
In January <strong>of</strong> 1995 the Most Rev. Gerald<br />
Kicanas was named by Pope John Paul II to be<br />
an Auxiliary Bishop <strong>of</strong> Chicago. In February, the<br />
Very Rev. John Canary was named the eighth<br />
Rector <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
During the spring <strong>of</strong> 1996, members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Bishops' <strong>Seminary</strong> Committee visited <strong>Mundelein</strong>.<br />
After an extensive series <strong>of</strong> meetings with<br />
faculty <strong>and</strong> students, the members <strong>of</strong> the committee<br />
gave a strong recommendation to the<br />
seminary program.<br />
The present Chancellor <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong><br />
Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake/<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> is<br />
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. His appointment<br />
as the eighth Archbishop <strong>of</strong> Chicago was announced<br />
by Pope John Paul II on April 8, 1997.<br />
He succeeded the late Joseph Cardinal Bernardin,<br />
who was Archbishop <strong>of</strong> Chicago from 1982<br />
until 1996.<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>. These three agencies<br />
became programs <strong>of</strong> the University. While remaining<br />
separate <strong>and</strong> distinct from the Priestly<br />
Formation Program, all are to cooperate under<br />
the University aegis in advancing the efforts <strong>of</strong><br />
ministry preparation <strong>and</strong> formation for all those<br />
involved in pastoral ministry.<br />
In 2005, the archdiocesan programs for Ongoing<br />
Formation were placed under the University<br />
<strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake/<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>’s<br />
direction. The additional programs <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Conference Center were reorganized as the<br />
University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Ministerial <strong>and</strong> Continuing Education,<br />
which oversees all non-degree programs. In<br />
September <strong>of</strong> 2005 an Apostolic Visitation was<br />
conducted as part <strong>of</strong> the Vatican’s study <strong>of</strong><br />
Catholic seminaries in the United States. The<br />
findings <strong>and</strong> recommendations were returned to<br />
the <strong>Seminary</strong> in 2008 <strong>and</strong> contributed to changes<br />
in the <strong>Seminary</strong> H<strong>and</strong>book.<br />
In 2006 Francis Cardinal George named the<br />
Very Rev. John F. Canary the Vicar General <strong>of</strong><br />
the Archdiocese <strong>of</strong> Chicago <strong>and</strong> appointed the<br />
Very Rev. Dennis J. Lyle as the ninth Rector/<br />
President <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Lake/<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
In July <strong>of</strong> 2011 the most recent changes to our<br />
administrative structure took effect. The programs<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Ministerial <strong>and</strong><br />
Continuing Education were established as institutes<br />
<strong>of</strong> the University <strong>and</strong> brought under a new<br />
Office <strong>of</strong> Academic Affairs, which now oversees<br />
all academic programs <strong>of</strong> the University.<br />
In November <strong>of</strong> 2011 the University <strong>of</strong> Saint<br />
Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake/<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>, in union<br />
with the English speaking communities <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Roman Catholic Church, implemented the new<br />
Roman Missal on campus.<br />
In May 2012 Francis Cardinal George appointed<br />
the Very Rev. Robert Barron as the<br />
tenth Rector/President <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> Saint<br />
Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake/<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
In February <strong>of</strong> 2000 Cardinal George dissolved<br />
the Department <strong>of</strong> Ministry Formation at<br />
the Pastoral Center <strong>and</strong> transferred the Diaconate<br />
Formation Program, the Lay Ministry Program<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Instituto de Liderazgo Pastoral to<br />
the University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake/<br />

Mission Statements <strong>and</strong> Objectives<br />
THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. MARY OF THE<br />
LAKE /MUNDELEIN SEMINARY<br />
The University <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary <strong>of</strong> the Lake/<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> prepares c<strong>and</strong>idates for<br />
the diocesan priesthood <strong>and</strong> provides initial,<br />
post-graduate or ongoing formation for priests<br />
<strong>and</strong> those who collaborate with them in ministry.<br />
VISION STATEMENTS<br />
The Lord founded the Church with a sacred<br />
ministry <strong>of</strong> bishops, presbyters <strong>and</strong> deacons.<br />
At the core <strong>of</strong> its mission, <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong><br />
prepares men to be priests <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ,<br />
priest, teacher <strong>and</strong> shepherd. It educates<br />
men for parish pastoral ministry as co-workers<br />
with their bishops in the service <strong>of</strong> the Catholic<br />
Church.<br />
The Holy Spirit calls forth diverse gifts <strong>and</strong><br />
ministries within the Church; <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong><br />
also educates leaders for pastoral ministry<br />
as co-workers with the bishop <strong>and</strong> his<br />
priests in service to the people <strong>of</strong> Christ. It<br />
does this through distinct programs <strong>of</strong> formation<br />
for each ecclesial role.<br />
The people <strong>of</strong> Christ deserve ministers committed<br />
to life-long learning <strong>and</strong> growth in holiness.<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> provides postgraduate<br />
<strong>and</strong> advanced ministerial degree<br />
programs, as well as ongoing formation for all<br />
engaged in ministry.<br />
GOALS<br />
The goals <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> St. Mary<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Lake / <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> are:<br />
1. To provide a comprehensive program<br />
<strong>of</strong> theological studies that: (a) supports<br />
students in the conscious<br />
appropriation <strong>of</strong> the Catholic faith <strong>and</strong><br />
prepares them to proclaim <strong>and</strong> to<br />
teach God's Word; (b) imparts a way<br />
<strong>of</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing, reflecting upon,<br />
interpreting <strong>and</strong> proclaiming the<br />
Catholic faith in parish ministry.<br />
2. To provide a spiritual <strong>and</strong> human<br />
formation program that: (a) helps<br />
students grow in liturgical <strong>and</strong> personal<br />
prayer, celibate chastity <strong>and</strong> readiness<br />
for diocesan priestly life; (b) promotes<br />
self-awareness, competence <strong>and</strong><br />
con-fidence, psychological integration,<br />
healthy sexual maturity <strong>and</strong> the<br />
capacity to relate to others; (c) fosters<br />
simplicity <strong>of</strong> life, obedience <strong>and</strong><br />
pastoral service.<br />
3. To provide a pastoral formation<br />
program that: (a) prepares students for<br />
the ministry <strong>of</strong> priestly leadership with<br />
<strong>and</strong> for others in the Church; (b)<br />
fosters the pastoral integration <strong>of</strong><br />
theological <strong>and</strong> spiritual formation; (c)<br />
promotes habits <strong>of</strong> prayer, study <strong>and</strong><br />
reflection in ministry; (d) develops<br />
pastoral skills <strong>and</strong> attitudes to meet<br />
the needs <strong>of</strong> the Church in evolving,<br />
complex <strong>and</strong> multicultural settings.<br />
MASTER OF DIVINITY<br />
MISSION STATEMENT<br />
The Master <strong>of</strong> Divinity program at<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> has as its goals: the<br />
intellectual, human, spiritual <strong>and</strong> pastoral<br />
formation <strong>of</strong> priests who are solidly<br />
grounded in the wisdom <strong>of</strong> the Church.<br />
The students prepared in the program<br />
have, as their main focus, parish<br />
ministry. The theological education is<br />
comprehensive <strong>and</strong> extensive. It gives<br />
witness to the unity <strong>of</strong> faith, according to<br />
the tradition <strong>of</strong> the Church <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Magisterium, <strong>and</strong> to the authentic diversity<br />
<strong>of</strong> theological expression. It is pastorally<br />
oriented, ecumenically sensitive <strong>and</strong><br />
relevant for the multi-cultural realities <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Church in the United States. Education in<br />
the Master <strong>of</strong> Divinity program is a dynamic<br />
process in which students personally<br />
appropriate what is taught <strong>and</strong> bring it into<br />
dialogue with the people <strong>and</strong> setting <strong>of</strong><br />
their parish ministry.<br />
GOALS<br />
The sequence <strong>of</strong> courses in the first five<br />
quarters <strong>of</strong> the curriculum: 1) seeks to<br />
move the student to a conscious<br />
appropriation <strong>of</strong> his Christian Faith<br />
commitment; <strong>and</strong> 2) provides the formation<br />
in theology, acquaintance with pastoral<br />
skills, <strong>and</strong> working knowledge <strong>of</strong> Church<br />
life which will enable the student to function<br />
effectively in the Pastoral Intensive.<br />
30
After the Pastoral Intensive, the general<br />
goal <strong>of</strong> the second half <strong>of</strong> the program is to<br />
provide a more speculative <strong>and</strong><br />
specialized underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the<br />
theological rationale for practical ministries.<br />
Such theological formation includes<br />
continued training <strong>and</strong> pastoral practice.<br />
Because <strong>of</strong> the experience <strong>of</strong> the Pastoral<br />
Quarter, education in both skills <strong>and</strong><br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing takes place against the<br />
backdrop <strong>of</strong> the seminarian's knowledge <strong>of</strong><br />
the ministerial needs <strong>of</strong> the Church <strong>and</strong> his<br />
developing ministerial identity.<br />
The Formation Program complements the<br />
Academic Program with a two-part focus<br />
on: "Discipleship" in the first two years <strong>and</strong><br />
"Priestly Ministry" in the second two years.<br />
The <strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Theology</strong>,<br />
operating under a charter granted by the<br />
State <strong>of</strong> Illinois in 1844, with accreditation<br />
by the Association <strong>of</strong> Theological <strong>School</strong>s,<br />
confers three pr<strong>of</strong>essional degrees <strong>and</strong><br />
one research degree: (1) Master <strong>of</strong> Divinity<br />
(M.Div.) to those who have successfully<br />
completed the four-year academic<br />
program; (2) Doctor <strong>of</strong> Ministry (D.Min.) to<br />
those who have had at least three years <strong>of</strong><br />
ministry <strong>and</strong> have successfully completed<br />
an additional two-year academic program;<br />
(3) The M.A.L. a pr<strong>of</strong>essional degree in<br />
Liturgy <strong>and</strong> (4) The M.A. (Liturgical Studies)<br />
an intermediate academic degree in<br />
liturgical theology.<br />
1. to study Christian revelation<br />
scientifically <strong>and</strong> in depth, to relate<br />
harmoniously to more recent advances<br />
<strong>of</strong> the human sciences, <strong>and</strong> to present<br />
Christian revelation in a suitable way<br />
to contemporary people (Sapientia<br />
Christiana 2);<br />
2. to illustrate Catholic doctrine from<br />
divine revelation in such a way that<br />
students may underst<strong>and</strong> it clearly,<br />
see its relevance to their own lives,<br />
<strong>and</strong> learn to communicate it effectively<br />
to others (Sapientia Christiana 66);<br />
3. to make available to c<strong>and</strong>idates for the<br />
priesthood <strong>and</strong> also to other qualified<br />
persons a graduate course <strong>of</strong> studies<br />
in the sacred sciences (Sapientia<br />
Christiana 2);<br />
4. to provide scholarly collaboration with<br />
the local <strong>and</strong> the universal church, in<br />
conjunction with the hierarchy, in the<br />
whole task <strong>of</strong> evangelization<br />
(Sapientia Christiana 2);<br />
5. to promote, in accordance with the<br />
norms <strong>of</strong> the directory for ecumenism,<br />
dialogue with Christians <strong>of</strong> other<br />
traditions, as well as with non-<br />
Christians <strong>and</strong> with non-believers, in<br />
order to seek a clearer underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
<strong>of</strong> the spiritual values <strong>of</strong> other faiths<br />
<strong>and</strong> to promote a greater degree <strong>of</strong><br />
Christian unity.<br />

THE ASSOCIATION OF CHICAGO<br />
THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> is a member <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Association <strong>of</strong> Chicago Theological <strong>School</strong>s<br />
(ACTS), an ecumenical association <strong>of</strong> nine<br />
Protestant, one Catholic <strong>and</strong> one Baptist<br />
formed in 1985. ACTS is intended to be the<br />
chief avenue <strong>of</strong> cooperation among its<br />
member institutions, particularly in the areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> student cross-registration, library access<br />
<strong>and</strong> acquisitions, interchange among faculty<br />
members in the various disciplines <strong>of</strong><br />
theological education, <strong>and</strong> communications<br />
between the schools.<br />
Six <strong>of</strong> the schools are located on Chicago's<br />
south side in Hyde Park: Catholic Theological<br />
Union, Chicago Theological <strong>Seminary</strong> (United<br />
Church <strong>of</strong> Christ), Lutheran <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Theology</strong>, Seabury Western, Meadville/<br />
Lombard Theological <strong>School</strong> (Unitarian<br />
Universalist), <strong>and</strong> McCormick Theological<br />
<strong>Seminary</strong> Presbyterian U.S.A.). One school is<br />
in the western suburbs: Northern Baptist<br />
Theological <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
Four <strong>of</strong> the schools are located in the<br />
northern metropolitan area: Garrett-<br />
Evangelical Theological <strong>Seminary</strong> (United<br />
Methodist), <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>, North Park<br />
Theological <strong>Seminary</strong> (Evangelical Covenant),<br />
<strong>and</strong> Trinity Evangelical Divinity <strong>School</strong><br />
(Evangelical Free Church <strong>of</strong> America).<br />
Together, the schools within ACTS <strong>of</strong>fer an<br />
enormously rich network <strong>of</strong> resources for<br />
theological education, making it one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
largest centers for theological education in the<br />
world. Available to the approximately 3500<br />
students currently enrolled at its member<br />
schools is a faculty <strong>of</strong> some 300, over 1000<br />

collections <strong>of</strong> over 2.2 million volumes <strong>and</strong><br />
nearly 5000 currently received periodical<br />
subscriptions. Several schools have wellstocked<br />
theological bookstores. More<br />
important, ACTS makes it possible for<br />
students <strong>and</strong> faculty to pursue their work,<br />
study <strong>and</strong> reflection in interaction with people<br />
from many different cultural <strong>and</strong> theological<br />
traditions.<br />
THE NORTHSIDE CHICAGO<br />
THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE<br />
In 1974, the Northside Chicago Theological<br />
Institute (NCTI) was organized by six<br />
theological schools for ecumenical <strong>and</strong><br />
educational purposes: <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>,<br />
Garrett-Evangelical Theological <strong>Seminary</strong><br />
(Evanston), Seabury Western, North Park<br />
Theological <strong>Seminary</strong> (Chicago), Northern<br />
<strong>Seminary</strong> (Lombard) <strong>and</strong> Trinity Evangelical<br />
Divinity <strong>School</strong> (Deerfield).<br />
The activities <strong>of</strong> the NCTI are under the<br />
direction <strong>of</strong> a Board <strong>of</strong> Directors whose<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers are elected annually. The Academic<br />
Dean <strong>and</strong> one faculty member from <strong>Mundelein</strong><br />
<strong>Seminary</strong> are members <strong>of</strong> the board.<br />
In January, each member school <strong>of</strong> NCTI<br />
observes the Week <strong>of</strong> Prayer for Christian<br />
Unity through activities appropriate to its own<br />
tradition. Exchange <strong>of</strong> pulpit speakers is one<br />
practice that has proven to be an enrichment<br />
<strong>of</strong> the schools.<br />
In the Fall <strong>and</strong> Spring, NCTI sponsors two<br />
seminar courses which address various<br />
theological themes. "Global Theologies" <strong>and</strong><br />
"Prayer <strong>and</strong> the Life <strong>of</strong> the Spirit" are the<br />
thematic titles for the Fall <strong>and</strong> Spring<br />
seminars. The faculty <strong>of</strong> the various NCTI<br />
schools participate as resource people in this<br />
intensive seminar experience which is held on<br />
three week nights <strong>and</strong> two weekends.<br />
HISPANIC SUMMER PROGRAM<br />
In 1995, <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> became a<br />
sponsoring member <strong>of</strong> the Hispanic Summer<br />
<strong>Theology</strong> Program, which takes place for two<br />
weeks every summer at a different site in the<br />
United States or Puerto Rico. Hispanic<br />
students, as well as others who are bilingual<br />
<strong>and</strong> who are interested in Hispanic ministries,<br />
may attend this academic program <strong>and</strong> take a<br />
maximum <strong>of</strong> two courses for three credits<br />
each. Courses in the Hispanic Summer<br />
Program cover a wide range <strong>of</strong> the theological<br />
curriculum, <strong>and</strong> are always taught with the<br />
Latino church in mind. <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong><br />

enhances the seminarian’s relationship to<br />
Christ in a very deep <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>ound way<br />
through contemplative prayer <strong>and</strong> study <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Sacred Scriptures at the holy sites <strong>of</strong> our salvation<br />
history. As such it incorporates the following<br />
components:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A 10 week pilgrimage-study program that<br />
is <strong>of</strong>fered in the 3rd year <strong>of</strong> major seminary,<br />
before their diaconate ordination.<br />
Visits to the major sites <strong>of</strong> the Old <strong>and</strong><br />
New Testament which include biblical reflections,<br />
time for prayer <strong>and</strong> liturgy.<br />
A full load <strong>of</strong> courses specifically focused<br />
around the spiritual themes <strong>of</strong> the pilgrimage<br />
<strong>and</strong> prayer that include 2 Sacred<br />
Scripture courses, a Spiritual <strong>Theology</strong><br />
course, <strong>and</strong> an Ecumenical/Interreligious<br />
course all taught by <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong><br />
faculty who accompany the seminarians.<br />
Daily Mass (<strong>of</strong>ten at Holy sites) <strong>and</strong> communal<br />
recitation <strong>of</strong> the Divine Office.<br />
Connections to the work <strong>of</strong> organizations<br />
such as the Catholic Relief Services, the<br />
Sisters <strong>of</strong> Charity, the Christian Brothers at<br />
Bethlehem University, <strong>and</strong> other works<br />
done by various Church <strong>and</strong> religious orders<br />
in the Holy L<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Is the Pilgrimage Quarter required?<br />
The Pilgrimage Quarter is optional. Some<br />
students may have economic or personal reasons<br />
that would make the trip too much <strong>of</strong> a<br />
hardship.<br />
What are the expenses <strong>of</strong> the program <strong>and</strong><br />
how are they paid?<br />
The expenses for the program (housing, food,<br />
travel arrangements, faculty) are covered by<br />
the regular tuition that each diocese pays. The<br />
airfare is the only cost to the student (<strong>of</strong><br />
course, the seminarian’s diocese may cover<br />
this cost.)<br />
40
Multi-Cultural Program<br />
I. <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>, provides a full program<br />
<strong>of</strong> English as a Second Language for those<br />
who need it. The department consists <strong>of</strong> two<br />
qualified ESL instructors: one full-time director<br />
<strong>and</strong> one part-time instructor. These instructors<br />
have developed a program especially for<br />
students who will study theology. In addition, a<br />
part-time instructor <strong>of</strong>fers a course in American<br />
Accent Practicum each quarter. Instruction is<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered in an intensive mode as well as in supplemental<br />
<strong>and</strong> occasional modes.<br />
II. During the Winter or Spring Quarters <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first year, all new international students will<br />
enroll in a ten-week cross-cultural courseprogram<br />
designed to assist participants in<br />
recognizing inter-cultural differences <strong>and</strong> the<br />
need to deal with these issues. Topics to be<br />
covered include: Verbal Patterns, Nonverbal<br />
Communications, Sex <strong>and</strong> Gender, Family<br />
Values as well as Time <strong>and</strong> Space, Social<br />
Movements, Work Ethics, Religious Diversity,<br />
Humor <strong>and</strong> other U.S. American Values. The<br />
class will meet twice each week for ten weeks<br />
for a total <strong>of</strong> thirty to forty hours <strong>of</strong> instruction.<br />
A one-day international student retreat<br />
<strong>of</strong>fers an opportunity to spend time reflecting<br />
on the implications <strong>of</strong> cultural exchange.<br />
III. Pastoral Skills, for those students born<br />

elective on Marriage, Family, Life, Death, Grief<br />
<strong>and</strong> Bereavement. Besides a greater<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> these <strong>and</strong> other areas <strong>of</strong><br />
ministerial concern, students will examine the<br />
cultural presuppositions <strong>and</strong> context that<br />
accompany these issues.<br />
IV. PL223 Mission <strong>and</strong> Culture Course. It will<br />
focus on a <strong>Theology</strong> <strong>of</strong> Mission <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>fer a pastoral<br />
approach for underst<strong>and</strong>ing Mission in a<br />
Multicultural context.<br />

Formation Program<br />
THE TEN AIMS OF MUNDELEIN SEMINARY<br />
FORMATION<br />
The primary objective <strong>of</strong> the Formation Program<br />
at <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> is to help prepare<br />
men for parish priesthood. The seminary<br />
seeks to develop true pastors, mature<br />
<strong>and</strong> holy men, who will live, work, <strong>and</strong> pray<br />
with the people they serve in parish ministry.<br />
To that end, we pursue the following 10 aims:<br />
1. To help the seminarian develop a vital<br />
SPIRITUAL LIFE appropriate to one preparing<br />
for ministerial priesthood <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ,<br />
Priest, Prophet <strong>and</strong> King. To grow in his<br />
priestly identity as beloved child <strong>of</strong> God, disciple<br />
<strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ, <strong>and</strong> one called to loving<br />
service <strong>of</strong> God’s people. To develop a sense<br />
<strong>of</strong> mission which flows from the man’s identity.<br />
To develop a lively personal <strong>and</strong> liturgical<br />
prayer life.<br />
Tomorrow’s priests must be men <strong>of</strong> prayer,<br />
<strong>of</strong> an active intellectual life <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> a sincere<br />
<strong>and</strong> heartfelt love for God’s people. To that<br />
end, the seminary fosters growth in prayer,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a love <strong>of</strong> study, in many ways.<br />
The Eucharist is the center <strong>of</strong> all Christian<br />
formation <strong>and</strong> the core <strong>of</strong> priestly formation.<br />
Attendance at daily Eucharist is required for<br />
the entire seminary community.<br />
The Liturgy <strong>of</strong> the Hours is the <strong>of</strong>ficial prayer<br />
<strong>of</strong> every diocesan priest. Seminarians are<br />
taught the “why” <strong>and</strong> “how” <strong>of</strong> the Liturgy <strong>of</strong><br />
the Hours <strong>and</strong> they are encouraged to make<br />
the Liturgy <strong>of</strong> the Hours their special prayer<br />
with <strong>and</strong> for the Church. The Program <strong>of</strong><br />
Priestly Formation prescribes gradual practice<br />
<strong>of</strong> all the Hours; by third year <strong>of</strong> theology,<br />
all should be regularly praying all five<br />
hours.<br />
Spiritual direction is an essential part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Formation Program <strong>of</strong> the seminary. It is a<br />
safe <strong>and</strong> confidential internal forum in which<br />
a man may discuss his spiritual life, primary<br />
goals <strong>of</strong> which are growing intimacy with<br />
<strong>and</strong> freedom in the Lord. Any life experiences,<br />
good or bad, positive or negative, lifegiving<br />
or challenging can be the “stuff” <strong>of</strong><br />
spiritual direction. The seminarian chooses<br />
his own spiritual director <strong>and</strong> meets every<br />
two weeks with this priest. The spiritual<br />
director cannot participate in any seminary<br />
feedback or evaluative process for his directees.<br />
The sacrament <strong>of</strong> Reconciliation is an im-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
portant element in the life <strong>of</strong> every priest <strong>and</strong><br />
seminarian. The sacrament is available to<br />
every seminarian on a weekly basis. Seminarians<br />
are encouraged to avail themselves<br />
<strong>of</strong> the sacrament with regularity. In addition,<br />
there are communal celebrations <strong>of</strong> Reconciliation<br />
in preparation for Christmas <strong>and</strong><br />
Easter. The sacrament is always available<br />
on a personal basis to the seminarians with<br />
any priest, with the exception <strong>of</strong> the rector.<br />
Spiritual retreats are a constitutive element<br />
<strong>of</strong> every seminarian’s life. A five-day oncampus<br />
preached retreat begins the fall<br />
quarter for Pre-Theologians, 1st Theologians,<br />
<strong>and</strong> 2nd Theologians. Upon their return<br />
from the Pastoral Internship, the 3rd<br />
year theologians experience a five-day directed<br />
retreat. There are retreats prior to<br />
reception <strong>of</strong> the diaconate <strong>and</strong> the priesthood.<br />
In addition, each separate living area<br />
or “cam” has an overnight retreat during the<br />
year. There also can be small group or individual<br />
retreats conducted during the year.<br />
Mornings <strong>of</strong> Prayer <strong>and</strong> recollection are conducted<br />
once each quarter. A Day <strong>of</strong> Prayer<br />
marks our patronal feast <strong>of</strong> the Immaculate<br />
Conception.<br />
Seminarians are encouraged to dedicate<br />
one hour to personal prayer each day, at<br />
least some <strong>of</strong> that time before the<br />
Blessed Sacrament. Attendance is required<br />
by all at the Wednesday morning<br />
holy hour before the exposed Blessed<br />
Sacrament; Morning Prayer <strong>and</strong> Benediction<br />
conclude the time. Each Sunday<br />
evening, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed<br />
for adoration between 7:00 p.m.<br />
<strong>and</strong> 9:00 p.m. That time concludes with<br />
Night Prayer <strong>and</strong> Benediction.<br />
Each day every seminarian should spend<br />
time in personal devotional prayer, in<br />
reading scripture, praying in the presence<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Blessed Sacrament <strong>and</strong> in cultivating<br />
a devotion to Mary. Communal rosary<br />
is available each Monday, Tuesday,<br />
Thursday <strong>and</strong> Friday evening at 6:30<br />
p.m.; these are led by the respective<br />
cams.<br />
Each <strong>of</strong> the six years has its own class<br />
formation program into which are built<br />
elements <strong>of</strong> prayer, reflection on the<br />
Scriptures, presentations <strong>and</strong> small<br />
group work. Faith sharing is encouraged<br />
in many <strong>of</strong> these meetings.<br />
Since the study <strong>and</strong> the incorporation <strong>of</strong><br />
Scripture is <strong>of</strong> primary importance for<br />
42
priests, each seminarian is expected to<br />
learn how to pray the Scriptures. Opportunities<br />
for such prayer are built into class<br />
formation sessions <strong>and</strong> seminary retreats.<br />
2. To help the seminarian develop the necessary<br />
HUMAN qualities <strong>and</strong> virtues in the<br />
seminarian so that he is able to serve as a “a<br />
bridge to Christ” (PDV 43) as a diocesan<br />
priest, demonstrating in particular affective<br />
<strong>and</strong> psycho-sexual maturity as well as the<br />
ability to form positive relationships with a<br />
wide range <strong>of</strong> people appropriate to one<br />
called to live a chaste, celibate life. To help<br />
men become men <strong>of</strong> COMMUNION, men <strong>of</strong><br />
PASTORAL CHARITY. <strong>Seminary</strong> community<br />
life, “the matrix <strong>of</strong> formation,” should promote<br />
this human growth.<br />
While at <strong>Mundelein</strong>, each seminarian is<br />
expected to volunteer for various tasks<br />
<strong>and</strong> responsibilities in the community. At<br />
times, he will be asked to take on specific<br />
responsibilities by the rector or by members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the faculty.<br />
A seminarian must assume personal<br />
responsibility for his formation. This<br />
means that, while many opportunities for<br />
individual <strong>and</strong> group formational experiences<br />
are presented to him, ultimately he<br />
alone determines how deeply he will allow<br />
these experiences <strong>and</strong> these opportunities<br />
to prepare him for priesthood.<br />
The hope is that he will grow in this sincere<br />
spirit <strong>of</strong> self-motivation which will be<br />
very essential to his life as a diocesan<br />
priest.<br />
Each c<strong>and</strong>idate for the priesthood has a<br />
“formation advisor” from the formation<br />
faculty during his years in the seminary.<br />
The formation advisor works with the<br />
man in the external forum. The two meet<br />
together at least twice a quarter <strong>and</strong><br />
whenever necessary. The formation advisor<br />
is both a helpful guide for the man<br />
<strong>and</strong> also a person <strong>of</strong> accountability. Together<br />
they work out an agreement or<br />
covenant at the beginning <strong>of</strong> each year<br />
outlining the expectations <strong>of</strong> the seminary<br />
<strong>and</strong> a man’s personal goals for his formation.<br />
This covenant <strong>and</strong> how it is carried<br />
out is shared with those responsible<br />
for the man’s training. To this end, the<br />
formation advisor meets with the man’s<br />
vocation director during the year. The<br />
formation advisor also writes up a review<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>of</strong> the man’s progress towards priesthood<br />
at the end <strong>of</strong> each year. This report is<br />
shared with the rector, the man’s bishop,<br />
his vocation director <strong>and</strong> the man himself.<br />
There are a variety <strong>of</strong> accountability factors<br />
during a man’s stay at the seminary.<br />
Each man receives feedback from both<br />
peers <strong>and</strong> faculty on a number <strong>of</strong> occasions<br />
throughout his years here. He also<br />
has an opportunity to <strong>of</strong>fer feedback to<br />
the seminary itself along the way.<br />
In Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> I, at the end <strong>of</strong> the year,<br />
men receive specific feedback from their<br />
peers <strong>and</strong> from their field experience<br />
ministry <strong>and</strong> are expected to evaluate<br />
their own year as well in a written statement.<br />
They share all this information<br />
with their advisor.<br />
In Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> II, the men receive<br />
feedback from their field education supervisor,<br />
from their mission trip supervisor,<br />
from their cam director <strong>and</strong> four cam<br />
brothers, <strong>and</strong> finally from a pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong><br />
their choice. At the end <strong>of</strong> the year, the<br />
men are also expected to write a year<br />
end self-evaluation. All <strong>of</strong> the feedback is<br />
shared with their advisor.<br />
In First <strong>Theology</strong>, the men undergo endorsement,<br />
a process by which peers<br />
<strong>and</strong> faculty state whether they think the<br />
men are fit to go on to Second <strong>Theology</strong>.<br />
They also receive specific written feedback<br />
from both peers <strong>and</strong> faculty, whom<br />
they choose, as to how they are seen<br />
<strong>and</strong> what they need to do to continue to<br />
grow <strong>and</strong> develop. At the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
year, they write their own summary <strong>of</strong><br />
how the year has gone for them. They<br />
are encouraged to share all <strong>of</strong> this with<br />
their spiritual director <strong>and</strong> advisor.<br />
In Second <strong>Theology</strong>, men also undergo<br />
the endorsement process. In addition,<br />
they are evaluated at the end <strong>of</strong> their<br />
pastoral intensive by their work supervisor<br />
<strong>and</strong> by those with whom they worked<br />
in the parish.<br />
In Third <strong>Theology</strong>, the men once again<br />
go through the endorsement process in<br />
the spring quarter. (If a man is to be ordained<br />
to the diaconate prior to his return<br />
in fourth year, he will also go through the<br />
certification process in the spring quarter<br />
<strong>of</strong> third year.) In addition, they receive<br />
feedback from selected peers <strong>and</strong> faculty.<br />
Each man prepares an end <strong>of</strong> the year<br />
43
summary <strong>of</strong> his experience <strong>of</strong> the year.<br />
In Fourth <strong>Theology</strong>, the men are evaluated<br />
at the end <strong>of</strong> their C.P.E. experience.<br />
Also, they go through a process <strong>of</strong><br />
certification before the reception <strong>of</strong> the<br />
order <strong>of</strong> Diaconate. In the certification<br />
process, the seminary recommends the<br />
man to his local church as being eligible<br />
for ordained ministry with regard to his<br />
human, spiritual, intellectual, <strong>and</strong> pastoral<br />
development.<br />
During all these processes, a man is<br />
evaluated in the following areas: his personal<br />
development as a c<strong>and</strong>idate for<br />
priesthood, his relationship with his advisor,<br />
his participation in the public prayer<br />
<strong>of</strong> the seminary, his fulfillment <strong>of</strong> his field<br />
education requirements, his participation<br />
in class formation sessions, his participation<br />
in community formation sessions, his<br />
attendance at the annual retreats, his<br />
involvement in cam life, <strong>and</strong> his academic<br />
progress.<br />
3. To help the seminarian develop a lively IN-<br />
TELLECTUAL LIFE appropriate to diocesan<br />
priesthood. To grow in the ability to teach <strong>and</strong><br />
preach the Catholic faith <strong>and</strong> dedicate himself to<br />
life-long learning.<br />
God’s people deserve learned as well as<br />
holy priests. A love <strong>of</strong> study is encouraged<br />
here as well as a sense <strong>of</strong> responsibility for<br />
ongoing education <strong>and</strong> formation after ordination.<br />
4. To help the seminarian develop as both a<br />
SPIRITUAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADER for diocesan<br />
priesthood.<br />
Here “spiritual leader” is understood as<br />
helping people to cultivate their spiritual<br />
growth; “religious leader” is one who faithfully<br />
represents the Tradition, teaching <strong>and</strong><br />
practice <strong>of</strong> the Catholic Church, the<br />
“universal sacrament <strong>of</strong> unity.” Not only is a<br />
priest a public leader entrusted with the<br />
responsibility to decide for, direct, <strong>and</strong><br />
guide a particular church, he is also a religious<br />
leader who represents the larger<br />
Church. This means that he must learn to<br />
function in a leadership role at all times.<br />
5. To help the seminarian develop a missionary<br />
spirit <strong>and</strong> the ability to EVANGELIZE cultures<br />
<strong>and</strong> people according to the call for a<br />
“new Evangelization,” especially as it pertains<br />
to the poor <strong>and</strong> marginalized in keeping with<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
the “gospel <strong>of</strong> life.”<br />
Academics:<br />
-Evangelization <strong>and</strong> Catechesis (Wiskus)<br />
-God’s Mission in the World <strong>and</strong> our Participation<br />
(Karecki)<br />
4 th Year Formation Session:<br />
-The Parish Priest <strong>and</strong> Evangelization<br />
Pastoral Internship H<strong>and</strong>book:<br />
“The seminarian is to be involved in evangelization.<br />
A page later in this manual describes<br />
various aspects <strong>of</strong> evangelization. The seminarian<br />
will participate in some way. If the<br />
parish has an evangelization program, he is<br />
to participate.” (The parish internship normally<br />
takes place in the spring quarter <strong>of</strong> second<br />
theology. By mutual agreement between the<br />
supervisor <strong>and</strong> the intern, the internship can<br />
be extended into the summer.)<br />
6. To help the seminarian develop the ability<br />
for COLLABORATIVE MINISTRY, not just with<br />
the laity, but also with the Bishop <strong>and</strong> presbyterate,<br />
so as to be able to work with men <strong>and</strong><br />
women who have taken on pr<strong>of</strong>essional <strong>and</strong><br />
volunteer roles <strong>of</strong> service in the Church.<br />
Actual experience in the apostolate is an<br />
integral part <strong>of</strong> the seminary program. In<br />
the course <strong>of</strong> his years at <strong>Mundelein</strong>, a<br />
seminarian engages in a variety <strong>of</strong> ministerial<br />
opportunities leading up to priesthood<br />
itself.<br />
The following opportunities enable a man<br />
to give active expression to his faith <strong>and</strong><br />
love, <strong>and</strong> to discern God’s action in the<br />
lives <strong>of</strong> the people he serves:<br />
In Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> I, the men engage in<br />
institutional field education <strong>and</strong> service at<br />
a variety <strong>of</strong> sites up to five hours each<br />
week.<br />
In Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> II, the focus is on social<br />
justice. The field education sites were<br />
chosen specifically because <strong>of</strong> their assistance<br />
to <strong>and</strong> level <strong>of</strong> contact with the<br />
poor <strong>and</strong> marginalized. At the<br />
conclusion <strong>of</strong> the winter quarter, the men<br />
spend 10–12 days on a mission trip<br />
where issues <strong>of</strong> social justice are addressed.<br />
In First <strong>Theology</strong>, the men participate in<br />
field education, which is parish-based.<br />
Ministry normally involves a weekly commitment<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1½ to 2 hours. Some possible<br />
ministries that students may help with are<br />
<br />
44
the following: religious education<br />
(teachers, aides, <strong>and</strong> substitutes), youth<br />
groups, parish-based outreach programs<br />
to the poor, Ministry <strong>of</strong> Care, R.C.I.A., or<br />
assistance with liturgy in some way.<br />
In Second <strong>Theology</strong>, the men spend the<br />
entire spring quarter away from the seminary<br />
on a pastoral intensive experience<br />
in a parish <strong>of</strong> their diocese. They are<br />
encouraged (not required) to take on<br />
some role <strong>of</strong> service during the fall <strong>and</strong><br />
winter quarters.<br />
In Third <strong>Theology</strong>, the men have several<br />
opportunities to exp<strong>and</strong> into more specialized<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> ministry. They may also<br />
choose to design their own track based<br />
on their perceived needs. The third-year<br />
men have the option to spend the winter<br />
quarter on pilgrimage.<br />
In the summer before Fourth <strong>Theology</strong>,<br />
the men do a 10-12 week basic quarter<br />
<strong>of</strong> Clinical Pastoral Education (or some<br />
approved alternative) in a hospital setting.<br />
Once they are ordained deacons,<br />
they are assigned to a parish in the Archdiocese<br />
<strong>of</strong> Chicago (or nearby diocese)<br />
for weekend work.<br />
Men are encouraged to form contacts<br />
with Chicago parishes or parishes in<br />
nearby dioceses on an ongoing basis<br />
through their seminary years.<br />
The important presence <strong>of</strong> women at so<br />
many levels <strong>of</strong> church life <strong>and</strong> service<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>s respect <strong>and</strong> whole-hearted<br />
cooperation from tomorrow’s priests.<br />
Women hold key positions on the academic<br />
faculty <strong>and</strong> the formation faculty,<br />
as well as directors <strong>of</strong> departments <strong>and</strong><br />
programs. The need to work well with<br />
women is addressed in a variety <strong>of</strong> ways<br />
during the seminarian’s stay at <strong>Mundelein</strong>.<br />
7. To help the seminarian develop an openness<br />
<strong>and</strong> COMPETENCY FOR SERVING THE DI-<br />
VERSE ETHNIC AND CULTURAL GROUP<br />
WITHIN THE CHURCH AND SOCIETY <strong>and</strong> a<br />
willingness to respond to the changing needs <strong>of</strong><br />
the Catholic Church.<br />
The seminary itself is a close reflection <strong>of</strong><br />
the catholicity <strong>of</strong> the Church. There are<br />
men from Pol<strong>and</strong>, Cuba, Puerto Rico,<br />
Haiti, Central <strong>and</strong> South America, Philippines,<br />
Vietnam, Ug<strong>and</strong>a, Tanzania, Ghana<br />
<strong>and</strong> Kenya. There are also priests <strong>and</strong><br />
religious women from two dioceses, other<br />
<br />
<br />
than Chicago, that are represented on<br />
the faculty here at <strong>Mundelein</strong>. Special<br />
emphasis is placed on the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> skills in Hispanic ministry due to the<br />
impact <strong>of</strong> this set <strong>of</strong> cultures upon the<br />
Archdiocese <strong>of</strong> Chicago, the U.S.<br />
Church, <strong>and</strong> the whole Church.<br />
During the course <strong>of</strong> the time here at<br />
<strong>Mundelein</strong>, many men will study Spanish<br />
in a summer intensive. Many will take<br />
short intensive courses in either Hispanic<br />
ministry or African-American culture;<br />
there will also be opportunities for language<br />
courses in Polish.<br />
Each Thursday, the Eucharistic Liturgy is<br />
conducted in both English <strong>and</strong> Spanish.<br />
At various times during the year,<br />
there are liturgies <strong>and</strong> celebrations <strong>of</strong><br />
other ethnic <strong>and</strong> cultural feasts. There is<br />
a Hispanic choir, a choir that specializes<br />
in various kinds <strong>of</strong> African music, an<br />
Asian choir, <strong>and</strong> a Polish schola.<br />
8. To help the seminarian develop a spirit <strong>of</strong><br />
FRATERNITY here at the seminary which will<br />
translate into intentional bonds within the presbyterate<br />
<strong>of</strong> his diocese.<br />
Many efforts are made to find ways to help<br />
seminarians get to know each other well, to<br />
trust each other, <strong>and</strong> to live out their time <strong>of</strong><br />
preparation for priesthood in a united manner.<br />
The fraternity learned in the seminary<br />
is a small step towards the fraternity needed<br />
in the priesthood. Experience has shown<br />
that priesthood grows when shared <strong>and</strong><br />
supported.<br />
Cam Life - A word derived from the Italian<br />
word camerata ("dormitory” or living<br />
area which promotes Christian community).<br />
The seminarian is expected to engage<br />
fully in the life <strong>of</strong> the cam throughout<br />
the year. The cam atmosphere is<br />
designed to be welcoming, supportive,<br />
<strong>and</strong> growth-filled. All the members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cam meet regularly each week, once for<br />
Evening Prayer on Monday, <strong>and</strong> again<br />
for Night Prayer <strong>and</strong> socializing on<br />
Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Cam<br />
members will experience an annual week<br />
-end retreat away from the seminary.<br />
During the year, many cams will sponsor<br />
special events to which all seminarians<br />
<strong>and</strong> faculty are invited. In short, the cam<br />
is the day-to-day environment in which, it<br />
is hoped, the seminarian will flourish <strong>and</strong><br />
grow.<br />
45
Class formation programs are designed<br />
to meet special needs <strong>and</strong> to serve common<br />
concerns that arise as seminarians<br />
move toward priesthood. They provide<br />
opportunities for support <strong>and</strong> encouragement<br />
<strong>and</strong> for mutual sharing. Each class<br />
has a unique program which engages on<br />
a weekly basis throughout the school<br />
year.<br />
In Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> I, the seminarian is<br />
introduced to the seminary <strong>and</strong> its expectations<br />
<strong>and</strong> he is helped to discern further<br />
his call to the priesthood.<br />
In Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> II, the formation is designed<br />
as a bridge between the introductory<br />
pre-theology program <strong>and</strong> the theology<br />
I-IV programs. The program incorporates<br />
all four pillars <strong>of</strong> formation <strong>and</strong><br />
stresses balance <strong>and</strong> integration. Theological<br />
reflection is used frequently<br />
throughout the year to assist with this<br />
process.<br />
In First <strong>Theology</strong>, men learn methods<br />
<strong>of</strong> prayer <strong>and</strong> the basics needed to live a<br />
celibate life. Human formation is a particular<br />
focus.<br />
In Second <strong>Theology</strong>, the focus is on<br />
lived discipleship. The document<br />
“Pastores Dabo Vobis” guides this year’s<br />
program.<br />
In Third <strong>Theology</strong>, formation is centered<br />
on faith sharing <strong>and</strong> pilgrimage. During<br />
their third year, the men have the option<br />
to spend the winter quarter on pilgrimage.<br />
There are also presentations <strong>and</strong> a<br />
preaching practicum.<br />
In Fourth <strong>Theology</strong>, the program addresses<br />
transition into priestly ministry<br />
<strong>and</strong> public leadership in the Church.<br />
<br />
The pastoral intensive in the spring quarter<br />
<strong>of</strong> second year takes place in a man’s<br />
own diocese. During this experience,<br />
many dioceses <strong>and</strong> individual priest supervisors<br />
take great care to introduce the<br />
men to the various aspects <strong>of</strong> diocesan<br />
life <strong>and</strong> its institutions.<br />
10. To help the seminarian develop responsible<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> STEWARDSHIP for the spiritual <strong>and</strong><br />
temporal goods <strong>of</strong> the Church.<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> his formation covenant, the seminarian<br />
is asked to set goals to help him to<br />
be accountable for his own finances. This<br />
basic personal responsibility is the foundation<br />
for his eventual care <strong>of</strong> parish resources.<br />
Men are encouraged to be generous in their<br />
charitable giving. There are several opportunities<br />
throughout the year for a man to share<br />
his financial resources.<br />
The formation covenant lists as a “basic<br />
seminary expectation” for all:”To live a lifestyle<br />
that incorporates <strong>and</strong> reflects Gospel<br />
values.” A Gospel lifestyle is understood to<br />
include the value <strong>of</strong> simplicity <strong>of</strong> life.<br />

sense <strong>of</strong> KNOWLEDGE OF AND LOYALTY TO<br />
the local Church.<br />
Each seminarian is encouraged to learn<br />
about the history <strong>of</strong> his diocese, to grow<br />
in a greater appreciation for the mission<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Church in his diocese, <strong>and</strong> to know<br />
the diocesan policies, agencies <strong>and</strong> significant<br />
personnel who serve the mission.<br />
During their years in the seminary, the<br />
men are encouraged to meet <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>and</strong><br />
regularly with their diocesan brothers.<br />
Each Thursday evening, diocesan brothers<br />
meet for evening prayer. They also<br />
get together informally on other occasions<br />
as well.<br />

a student needs the permission <strong>of</strong> the Dean.<br />
Except for the fall quarter <strong>of</strong> third year students<br />
do not take normally more than 17 hours per<br />
quarter.<br />
If a student is carrying an incomplete, those<br />
hours will be counted in the total hours <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Registration<br />
In order to obtain credit, the student must<br />
formally register for particular courses.<br />
Registration occurs in advance <strong>of</strong> the quarter.<br />
Registration after these dates cannot be<br />
guaranteed <strong>and</strong> must be accompanied by a<br />
$10.00 late registration fee.<br />
Changes in Registration<br />
After formal registration, the student has the<br />
first week <strong>of</strong> the new quarter to make any<br />
schedule changes. To change a course, a<br />
student must file a new registration form with<br />
the Registrar. Registration changes or<br />
withdrawals are allowed after the first week <strong>of</strong><br />
the quarter only with the explicit permission <strong>of</strong><br />
the Academic Dean. Credit will not be given for<br />
courses for which there has been no <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
registration.<br />
Independent Study<br />
A student may register for an "independent<br />
study" course. Permission for an independent<br />
study course must come from the Academic<br />
Dean. The course will normally fulfill an elective<br />
requirement in the M.Div. curriculum, though<br />
exceptions to this rule may be made with<br />
permission <strong>of</strong> the Academic Dean (e.g., in the<br />
case <strong>of</strong> the need to make up a required course).<br />
After consulting with the Academic Dean, a<br />
student arranges for the course with a<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essor, who is to sign a form (available in<br />
the Dean's <strong>of</strong>fice) with the following information:<br />
the course title, description, "study level" (300-<br />
level, etc.), <strong>and</strong> hours (1, 2 or 3). The student is<br />
to attach this form to the registration sheet on<br />
which he also lists the course. Within the first<br />
week <strong>of</strong> the quarter, the pr<strong>of</strong>essor is to h<strong>and</strong> in<br />
a syllabus for the course that includes the<br />
topics, schedule <strong>of</strong> meetings, <strong>and</strong> assignments.<br />
Only one independent study course is allowed<br />
per quarter.<br />
Attendance at Classes<br />
Students are expected to attend all classes.<br />
Attendance at class <strong>and</strong> interaction with teachers<br />
<strong>and</strong> other students are essential aspects <strong>of</strong> the<br />
theological formation at <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
To provide for emergencies involving sickness,<br />
accidents or other serious personal matters,<br />
exceptions to the above policy are made. For<br />
example, a student may attend the funeral <strong>of</strong> an<br />
immediate family member, <strong>of</strong> a fellow student or<br />
faculty member, without penalty.<br />
A student should inform the Academic<br />
Dean’s Administrative Assistant as to the<br />
reason for absences. If possible, this,<br />
notification should be made before the<br />
absence occurs.<br />
A student is liable to incur a grade <strong>of</strong> "failure<br />
due to excessive absence" (FA) if the number<br />
<strong>of</strong> unexcused absences exceeds:<br />
One absence in a class meeting once a week;<br />
two absences in a class meeting twice a week.<br />
Students are responsible for material missed.<br />
47
Cancellation <strong>of</strong> Classes<br />
Scheduled classes may be canceled only<br />
after consultation with the Academic Dean.<br />
Teachers who, for serious reasons, must<br />
suspend a class session should notify the<br />
Academic Dean.<br />
Grades <strong>and</strong> Grade Reports<br />
The credit point, sometimes called quality or<br />
grade point, is the st<strong>and</strong>ard unit for computing<br />
the quality <strong>of</strong> a student's achievement in a<br />
course.<br />
The credit hour, at times called the quarterhour,<br />
is the st<strong>and</strong>ard unit for computing the<br />
quantity <strong>of</strong> a student's academic work. A credit<br />
hour is defined as one lecture, recitation or<br />
other class exercise <strong>of</strong> fifty-five minutes per<br />
week per quarter.<br />
Earned credit hours indicate those hours<br />
received in the successful completion <strong>of</strong> a<br />
course, while attempted credit hours indicate<br />
those hours attempted by the student<br />
regardless <strong>of</strong> whether he passed or failed the<br />
course.<br />
Unless otherwise indicated, courses carry a<br />
value <strong>of</strong> three credit hours. The academic<br />
average or scholastic st<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> a student is<br />
computed at the end <strong>of</strong> each quarter by<br />
dividing the total number <strong>of</strong> credit points<br />
earned by the total number <strong>of</strong> credit hours<br />
attempted in that quarter. Cumulative averages<br />
are computed in the same way, based on the<br />
total credit points earned <strong>and</strong> credit hours<br />
attempted during the entire period <strong>of</strong><br />
residence.<br />
Final grade reports are compiled by the<br />
Registrar <strong>and</strong> given to the student at the end <strong>of</strong><br />
each quarter.<br />
Definition <strong>of</strong> Grades/Grade Values<br />
Applies to Pre-<strong>Theology</strong>, M.Div., Ecclesiastical,<br />
Liturgical Institute <strong>and</strong> D.Min. Programs.<br />
A = Excellent performance (93-100) 4.0<br />
B+ = Very good performance (89-92) 3.5<br />
B = Good performance (85-88) 3.0<br />
C+ = Average performance (81-84) 2.5<br />
C = Below Average performance (77-80) 2.0<br />
F = Failure (0-76) 0.0<br />
P = Pass<br />
W = Withdrew passing<br />
WF = Withdrew failing<br />
I = Incomplete<br />
FA = Failure due to excessive absences<br />
AU = Audit. This notation will be entered on the<br />
student's record provided that he has, with the<br />
permission <strong>of</strong> the instructor, registered for the course<br />
<strong>and</strong> satisfactorily attended the classes.<br />
CR = Credit Given<br />
NCR = No Credit Given. A credit or no credit notation is<br />
given in some M.Div. courses, <strong>and</strong> in the evaluation <strong>of</strong><br />
the internship.<br />
Students must maintain a 2.5 cumulative<br />
G.P.A. <strong>and</strong> in each quarter in the M.Div. <strong>and</strong><br />
Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> programs, a 3.0 cumulative<br />
average in the S.T.B./S.T.L. program, a 3.0 for<br />
the Liturgical Institute <strong>and</strong> a 3.0 for the D.Min.<br />
program.<br />
Academic Probation/Review Board<br />
If a student falls below the minimum G.P.A., he<br />
is placed on academic probation for the following<br />
quarter. Students failing to improve are subject<br />
to dismissal unless there are extenuating<br />
circumstances. A student who fails more than<br />
one required course in a single quarter, whether<br />
or not this puts him on probation, is automatically<br />
subject to a Review Board <strong>and</strong> possible<br />
dismissal from the academic program. A student<br />
who fails a required course in one quarter <strong>and</strong><br />
another required course in the next quarter, is<br />
automatically subject to Review Board <strong>and</strong><br />
possible dismissal from the academic program.<br />
The <strong>Seminary</strong> reserves the right to refuse to<br />
admit or readmit any student at any time should<br />
it be deemed required in the interest <strong>of</strong> the<br />
student or the <strong>Seminary</strong> to do so, <strong>and</strong> to require<br />
the withdrawal <strong>of</strong> any student at any time who<br />
fails to give satisfactory evidence <strong>of</strong> academic<br />
ability, earnestness <strong>of</strong> purpose or active<br />
cooperation in all the requirements for<br />
acceptable scholarship.<br />
Withdrawals<br />
A student may withdraw from a course up to<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> the sixth week <strong>of</strong> the quarter.<br />
Permission <strong>of</strong> the Dean is required. The<br />
procedures outlined by the Registrar's Office<br />
must be followed. The grade "W" or "WF" will<br />
be entered on the transcript for courses from<br />
which a student has withdrawn.<br />
Incompletes<br />
A student may request an Incomplete.<br />
Teachers may grant this request, if they judge<br />
48
the student's reason to be sufficient.<br />
The deadlines for the completion <strong>of</strong> course<br />
work are 1) for the Fall Quarter the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
second week <strong>of</strong> the Winter Quarter; 2) for the<br />
Winter Quarter the end <strong>of</strong> the second week <strong>of</strong><br />
the Spring Quarter; <strong>and</strong> 3) June 15th for the<br />
Spring Quarter. A pr<strong>of</strong>essor may not extend<br />
the deadline past these dates. Any further<br />
extension can only be made by the Dean.<br />
The courses will be considered complete<br />
if the student places the required materials<br />
in the h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>essor no later than<br />
2:00 P.M. on the day <strong>of</strong> the deadline. In the<br />
absence <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>essor, the completed<br />
work may be turned in at the Academic<br />
Dean's <strong>of</strong>fice before the deadline.<br />
Otherwise, the pr<strong>of</strong>essor gives an "F" for the<br />
course. The student himself must assume the<br />
responsibility for completing his course.<br />
Fourth-<strong>Theology</strong> students must complete all<br />
their work for courses for the M.Div. degree in<br />
the Spring Quarter by the first week in May. If<br />
grades for one or more courses are still not<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ed in by the end <strong>of</strong> that time, the student<br />
will not receive a degree at the Convocation<br />
which is usually held the first weekend <strong>of</strong> May.<br />
Degrees will be given only after all final grades<br />
are recorded.<br />
Failure<br />
No credit is given for a course in which a<br />
student earns an "F". A student must retake a<br />
failed required course the next time it is<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered. If the failure is in an elective course,<br />
the student must take an equivalent elective in<br />
the same department. Exceptions to these<br />
policies (e.g., an independent study in a<br />
subsequent quarter to make up a required<br />
course) are at the discretion <strong>of</strong> the Academic<br />
Dean.<br />
Audit<br />
A student needs permission from the Academic<br />
Dean <strong>and</strong> the instructor in order to audit<br />
a class. A student must attend every class <strong>and</strong><br />
do all the required reading. A students does<br />
not have to take tests, exams or do any<br />
papers.<br />
Plagiarism/Academic Dishonesty<br />
In all written assignments <strong>of</strong> whatever kind,<br />
including examinations, quizzes, internet<br />
quizzes <strong>and</strong> papers students are responsible<br />
for the integrity <strong>of</strong> their own work. Any<br />
dependence on or use <strong>of</strong> someone else's work<br />
must be clearly noted <strong>and</strong> appropriate<br />
references given. Please consult the Writer’s<br />
Style Manual for guidelines. Any student who<br />
plagiarizes—i.e., takes, copies, or otherwise<br />
uses without proper acknowledgement—–the<br />
work <strong>of</strong> another will face discipline up to <strong>and</strong><br />
including dismissal from the Academic<br />
Program.<br />
Academic Work Elsewhere<br />
The approval <strong>of</strong> the Academic Dean is required<br />
to gain credit for work done in another school<br />
while in residence at the <strong>Seminary</strong>. Permission<br />
from the Academic Dean is needed prior to the<br />
start <strong>of</strong> the course(s). Such courses must be<br />
completed with a grade <strong>of</strong> "C" or better to be<br />
recognized for credit. No more than two such<br />
courses will be allowed toward the M.Div.<br />
degree. Prior written permission is needed for a<br />
course(s) from another institution once a seminarian<br />
is at <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
Transfer Credit<br />
Students transferring from another <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Theology</strong> may receive credit for courses they<br />
have taken, if in the judgment <strong>of</strong> the Academic<br />
Dean, these courses are considered equivalent<br />
to similar ones <strong>of</strong>fered at <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong>.<br />
The grade for these courses must be "C" or<br />
better.<br />
Graduation<br />
Degrees normally will be awarded in accord<br />
with the present curriculum in May. All degree<br />
requirements must be completed by the first<br />
week in May if the degree is to be granted at the<br />
time.<br />
Students who earn a cumulative average <strong>of</strong> at<br />
least 3.5 will be graduated cum laude; those with<br />
at least a 3.7 magna cum laude; those with at<br />
least 3.9 summa cum laude.<br />

<strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers a two-year Pre-<br />
<strong>Theology</strong> program. It is designed for those college<br />
graduates who need to make the transition<br />
into seminary life <strong>and</strong> to acquire the necessary<br />
academic courses in philosophy <strong>and</strong> religious<br />
studies.<br />
Students in the Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> program are fulltime<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Mundelein</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> community.<br />
They have separate academic <strong>and</strong> formation<br />
programs to help them get ready for the<br />
study <strong>of</strong> theology <strong>and</strong> the immediate preparation<br />
for ordained ministry. Individual rooms provide<br />
space for study, reflection <strong>and</strong> prayer. For Pre-<br />
<strong>Theology</strong> I, group living provides the base for<br />
mutual support <strong>and</strong> interaction. Gradually, they<br />
will become accustomed to the elements <strong>of</strong><br />
seminary life <strong>and</strong> priestly formation.<br />
51
Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> Program<br />
THE PRE-THEOLOGY ACADEMIC<br />
PROGRAM<br />
The study <strong>of</strong> Philosophy is important not only<br />
as a preparation for <strong>Theology</strong> but also as a<br />
needed element in the life <strong>of</strong> those who would<br />
accept leadership in the Church <strong>of</strong> the twentyfirst<br />
century. Critical reflection helps focus the<br />
issues <strong>of</strong> a complex world <strong>and</strong> sharpen the wisdom<br />
<strong>of</strong> the preceding ages. An underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
<strong>of</strong> the culture <strong>and</strong> ideas <strong>of</strong> the world today<br />
strengthen the priest’s ability to preach the gospel<br />
<strong>and</strong> to clear the path for God’s invitation to<br />
faith.<br />
The Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> program provides fortythree<br />
quarter hours <strong>of</strong> philosophy: The History<br />
<strong>of</strong> Philosophy (Ancient, Medieval, Modern, Contemporary),<br />
as well as courses in Logic, Metaphysics,<br />
Epistemology, Anthropology, Philosophy<br />
<strong>of</strong> Nature, Natural <strong>Theology</strong>, Ethics, <strong>and</strong><br />
Political <strong>and</strong> Social Philosophy. In addition there<br />
are twenty-six quarter hours in religious studies.<br />
The Pre-Theologians will study Latin, (three<br />
quarters) <strong>and</strong> Greek (three quarters) as well as<br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings in the humanities (two courses). There<br />
will also be opportunities for the study <strong>of</strong> Spanish,<br />
both language <strong>and</strong> culture. A limited selection<br />
<strong>of</strong> electives, depending on the student’s<br />
interest <strong>and</strong> time, is available.<br />
THE PRE-THEOLOGY FORMATION<br />
PROGRAM<br />
Equally important is the Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> formation<br />
program. The future priests must “make<br />
his own” the gospel values he preaches. He<br />
must be committed to the mission <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Church, <strong>and</strong> he must be a man <strong>of</strong> spiritual insight<br />
<strong>and</strong> prayerful faith. To achieve this, the<br />
student will be in regular spiritual direction; he<br />
will also have a formation advisor. He will join<br />
the whole community for daily Mass, daily prayer<br />
(especially the Liturgy <strong>of</strong> the Hours), for retreats,<br />
mornings <strong>of</strong> prayer, class formation sessions,<br />
devotions <strong>and</strong> Eucharistic adoration. He<br />
will also have a weekly pastoral experience<br />
along with time for reflection on his ministry. All<br />
these create the atmosphere in which the students<br />
can develop as men <strong>of</strong> faith <strong>and</strong> hear<br />
more clearly the call to priesthood.<br />
THE PRE-THEOLOGY MISSION TRIP<br />
Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> II Field Education focuses on<br />
social justice. Provisions are made to ensure<br />
prolonged <strong>and</strong> meaningful contact with the<br />
poor, the marginalized, the sick, <strong>and</strong> the suffering<br />
so as to better underst<strong>and</strong> not only their<br />
immediate needs but also the social contexts<br />
<strong>and</strong> cultural structures that contribute to injustice<br />
in our world. The weekly field education<br />
experiences <strong>of</strong> the first <strong>and</strong> second quarter<br />
prepare the students for work with the poor<br />
<strong>and</strong> marginalized. But participation in one <strong>of</strong><br />
the two extended mission trips is essential to<br />
the realization <strong>of</strong> this goal for the individual<br />
students. Students will choose to participate in<br />
one <strong>of</strong> two mission trip options: an international<br />
Catholic Relief Services Global Fellows Trip or<br />
a mission trip within the U.S. Both trips occur<br />
at the beginning <strong>of</strong> the final week <strong>of</strong> the winter<br />
quarter <strong>and</strong> last for 10-14 days. The trips are<br />
designed to provide effective mission experiences<br />
for the men that will illuminate for them<br />
the Church’s call to justice <strong>and</strong> their own responsibilities<br />
to others based on the dignity <strong>of</strong><br />
the human person <strong>and</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> servants to<br />
Christ <strong>and</strong> His Church. From within the experiences<br />
shared with poor <strong>and</strong> marginalized, the<br />
men will be called to live the love <strong>of</strong> Christ expressed<br />
in their prayer <strong>and</strong> theology.<br />
THE GOALS OF THE PRE-THEOLOGY<br />
PROGRAM<br />
The goals <strong>of</strong> the two year Pre-<strong>Theology</strong> program<br />
are to introduce the students into seminary<br />
life <strong>and</strong> to provide the foundations for their<br />
development in priestly formation.<br />
Specifically:<br />
1. To assist the students to enter into seminary<br />
life <strong>and</strong> to adjust themselves to a new<br />
lifestyle;<br />
2. To take the required academic courses<br />
that will prepare them to start theological<br />
study;<br />
3. To encourage a realistic appreciation <strong>of</strong><br />
the mission <strong>of</strong> the Church today <strong>and</strong> to help<br />
them underst<strong>and</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> “priest <strong>and</strong> pastor”;<br />
4. To teach them methods <strong>of</strong> prayer <strong>and</strong> devotion,<br />
meditation <strong>and</strong> spiritual reading as<br />
well as opportunities to engage in faith sharing;<br />
5. To provide an opportunity for further vocational<br />
discernment;<br />
6. To set the groundwork for ongoing human,<br />
academic, spiritual <strong>and</strong> pastoral formation in<br />
the years ahead.<br />

ANTHROPOLOGY<br />
This course introduces the student to philosophy through an examination <strong>of</strong><br />
questions about "human nature" <strong>and</strong> what it means to be "human." Related<br />
issues are: knowledge, freedom, the individual person, death, purpose <strong>and</strong><br />
meaning. Important writers in the history <strong>of</strong> Western thought are examined to see<br />
why they come to their conclusions <strong>and</strong> to see the consequences <strong>of</strong> their thought<br />
for personal <strong>and</strong> theological reflection. In the process, students discover the<br />
nature <strong>of</strong> philosophy <strong>and</strong> its methods. (Year I)<br />

In Preaching, Fred Craddock writes that in the seminary to counter-influence the<br />
classroom lecture (“no model for the sermon”) “the homiletics student should read<br />

HISTORY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT<br />
The word <strong>of</strong> God was not a temporal but incarnated in time. God acted in history<br />
<strong>and</strong> the inspired record <strong>of</strong> these historical events in the Bible. No text <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Scriptures can be properly understood unless its historical background is studied<br />
<strong>and</strong> appreciated. The bible begins with pre-history (Gen. 1-11), while the history<br />
<strong>of</strong> the OT began with Abraham (Gen. 11:27), <strong>and</strong> the history <strong>of</strong> Israel with the<br />
exodus. Deliverance from the Egyptian bondage, the Journey through the desert,<br />
the Conquest <strong>and</strong> partitioning <strong>of</strong> the Promised L<strong>and</strong>, the Monarchy, the Political<br />

MIRACLES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (SG)<br />
The course will concentrate on Jesus' miracles as presented by the Synoptic gospels<br />

gospel). We will begin by considering the philosophical problems with the miraculous<br />
(e.g., Hume) <strong>and</strong> the state <strong>of</strong> the question today. Then we will survey how<br />
theologians <strong>and</strong> philosophers have understood the significance <strong>of</strong> Jesus' miracles<br />
from the Early Church through the Middle Ages, the Reformation, <strong>and</strong> the Enlightenment.<br />
As we study the various miracle pericopes, we will also consider <strong>and</strong><br />
critique the approaches <strong>of</strong> modern historical-critical studies, especially in light <strong>of</strong><br />
more recent developments in exegetical approaches (e.g., sociological interpretation<br />
[Kee], literary interpretation, existential interpretation [Latourelle]). As we<br />

PROTO-ISAIAH<br />
Isaiah, son <strong>of</strong> Amoz, at the inaugural vision <strong>of</strong> his call in the year <strong>of</strong> King Uzziah’s<br />
death (740 B.C.) was struck by the awesome holiness <strong>of</strong> God, whom he later<br />
called “The Holy One <strong>of</strong> Israel.” He witnessed the rise <strong>of</strong> the great Assyrian em<br />
pire under Tiglath – Pilser III (745 – 727), whose policies affected Israel <strong>and</strong> Judah<br />
tremendously. Working in very difficult times, he tried to rally the Kings <strong>of</strong><br />

EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS (Pauline)<br />

Here the life <strong>and</strong> ministry <strong>of</strong> Jesus is reflected on by studying his priesthood. The<br />
author with remarkable originality <strong>and</strong> ingenuity used the life <strong>and</strong> the liturgy <strong>of</strong> the<br />
OT to prove that Jesus is Great High Priest, above the angels in the line <strong>of</strong><br />
Melchizedek, <strong>and</strong> superior to the Levitical Priesthood. He is the compassionate<br />

GOSPEL OF LUKE (Pilgrimage)<br />
Our course will consider just the Gospel <strong>of</strong> Luke, even though Luke’s Gospel is<br />
only Volume One <strong>of</strong> a two-part work which includes the Acts <strong>of</strong> the Apostles. We<br />
will give some attention to the relationship between the two, but our main focus<br />
will be upon reading <strong>and</strong> responding to the gospel narrative. We will make three<br />
methodological assumptions. First, what did Luke intend to say to his original<br />
audience (including how he uses his sources)? Second, how does what he says<br />
compare with the other Gospels <strong>and</strong> the rest <strong>of</strong> the New Testament? Third, what<br />
is the “fuller” sense (e.g., anagogical, narrative, reader response)? Fourth, what<br />
connections can we make to living as disciples <strong>and</strong> evangelists today? All this<br />
means that we need to pay attention to the characteristics <strong>of</strong> Luke’s storytelling,<br />
especially to the order in which the author arranges his material. This will require<br />
that we do not (as we frequently do) treat each “event” or “pericope” in isolation,<br />
but in relation to what precedes <strong>and</strong> what follows.<br />

CHRISTOLOGY<br />
This course will begin <strong>and</strong> end with considerations <strong>of</strong> method in Christology <strong>and</strong><br />
evangelization. Course material will be considered in three units: the quest for the<br />
historical Jesus <strong>and</strong> New Testament Christologies <strong>and</strong> Soteriologies; the early<br />
Christological controversies <strong>and</strong> decisions <strong>of</strong> Church councils; <strong>and</strong> a<br />
consideration <strong>of</strong> special questions <strong>and</strong> a survey <strong>of</strong> contemporary developments<br />
in Christology <strong>and</strong> Soteriology.<br />

DOCTRINE OF GOD<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this course is to study the Christian underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> God as it<br />
has been articulated by some <strong>of</strong> the great theological figures <strong>of</strong> our tradition. The<br />
first part <strong>of</strong> the course will be an examination <strong>of</strong> the Patristic debates concerning<br />
the nature <strong>of</strong> God <strong>and</strong> a careful reading <strong>of</strong> the classical Trinitarian theologies <strong>of</strong><br />
St. Augustine <strong>and</strong> St. Thomas Aquinas. The second section <strong>of</strong> the course will be<br />
an analysis <strong>of</strong> classical teaching in response to contemporary concerns.<br />

CHRISTIAN ANTHROPOLOGY<br />
This class treats theological notions about the origin <strong>of</strong> the universe <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
humanity. Encompassing the major themes <strong>of</strong> creation, grace, sin, <strong>and</strong><br />
eschatology, this course will examine such topics as "imago dei," original sin <strong>and</strong><br />
free will, divine grace, heaven, hell, purgatory, the end <strong>of</strong> the world, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Second Coming <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />

ECCLESIOLOGY<br />
As Christians we pr<strong>of</strong>ess belief that the Church is one, holy, catholic <strong>and</strong><br />
apostolic. This course will examine the doctrine which has expounded that belief<br />
through history <strong>and</strong> which finds its most developed articulation in the teaching <strong>of</strong><br />
the Second Vatican Council. In particular, we will examine the various<br />
components <strong>of</strong> the doctrine <strong>of</strong> the Church, its structure, constitution, teaching<br />
authority, diversity <strong>and</strong> unity; by which it actualizes itself as the universal<br />
sacrament <strong>of</strong> salvation.<br />

SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION<br />
The sacraments <strong>of</strong> initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, <strong>and</strong> Eucharist) initiate men<br />

rites <strong>of</strong> initiation in their historical, theological, canonical, <strong>and</strong> practical<br />
dimensions. Particular attention is given to the Rite <strong>of</strong> Christian Initiation <strong>of</strong><br />
Adults. The course is introduced with a review <strong>of</strong> fundamental principles <strong>of</strong><br />
sacramental theology.<br />

THEOLOGY OF HOLY ORDERS<br />
In this seminar the students will read Death Comes to the Archbishop, The Power<br />

these works <strong>of</strong> literature portray the priesthood <strong>and</strong> reveal certain cultural, theological<br />

ECUMENICAL AND INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE (Pilgrimage)<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the streams <strong>of</strong> thought at the Second Vatican Council was the engagements<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Catholic Church with those outside its boundaries. In the course <strong>of</strong><br />
the general congregations, this stream <strong>of</strong> thought took shape as a decree <strong>and</strong><br />
two declarations. More significantly, after the council each element was given a<br />
permanent structure in the Roman Curia to foster its implementation. This course<br />
will examine the principles which direct the Catholic Church’s engagement with<br />
other Christians <strong>and</strong> other believers. (3rd Year Required)<br />

CHRISTOLOGY AND LITURGY OF RATZINGER/BENEDICT XVI (CHR)<br />
In the person <strong>of</strong> Joseph Ratzinger a man has become Pope at the beginning <strong>of</strong><br />
the 21 st Century who had already shaped the Catholic Church in the second half<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 20 th century more than any other single person, save John Paul II. As university<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essor he directed over fifty doctoral c<strong>and</strong>idates, as scholar he authored<br />
over 250 titles, as peritus he contributed in central ways to the II. Vatican<br />
Council, as archbishop he pastored a major see, <strong>and</strong> as prefect <strong>of</strong> the CDF he<br />
gave Catholic faith in her dialogue with the world a distinctive theological pr<strong>of</strong>ile.<br />
This course will examine the origins <strong>and</strong> the gravitational centers in Pope Benedict<br />

PNEUMATOLOGY<br />
A long neglected dogmatic discipline, it deals with the nature <strong>and</strong> works <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Holy Spirit as the Third Divine Person. Only via “a universal Pneumatology does<br />
one arrive at Christology” (Karl Rahner). Only “in the Spirit” is it possible to state<br />
“Jesus is the Lord” (1 Cor 12,3). This evidences Pneumatology as a key discipline<br />
granting access to the whole <strong>of</strong> theology. Mindful <strong>of</strong> Eastern Christian impulses<br />
in this critical area, this course is ecumenical in scope <strong>and</strong> intention.<br />

the debate over Christology <strong>and</strong> pluralism, that is, the relation <strong>of</strong> the founders <strong>of</strong><br />
other world religions to Christ. Other topics, though, will be allowed as research<br />
topics for the students’ final term paper, depending on their interest. (Canonical)<br />

NCTI FALL SEMINAR: GLOBAL THEOLOGIES<br />
Globalization has produced an increased encounter between different cultures<br />
<strong>and</strong> religions. These encounters have brought new questions to theology which<br />
have never before been asked. The questions challenge Christian theologians to<br />
think anew about the basic doctrines <strong>of</strong> the Faith. The Fall NCTI seminar will explore<br />
some <strong>of</strong> the dimensions <strong>of</strong> theology that have been opened by globalization,<br />
such as “Christology: Christ as Healer <strong>and</strong> Ancestor in Africa,”<br />
“Anthropology: Human Identity in Shame-Based Cultures <strong>of</strong> the Far East,” <strong>and</strong><br />
“Pneumatology: The Holy Spirit in Latin American Pentecostalism.” Discussion <strong>of</strong><br />
these topics will be led by the diverse faculty <strong>of</strong> NCTI <strong>and</strong> ACTS <strong>and</strong> will seek to<br />
include a variety <strong>of</strong> perspectives: Roman Catholic <strong>and</strong> Protestant, Ecumenical<br />
<strong>and</strong> Evangelical. Special attention will be paid to how these questions present<br />
challenges to evangelism, apologetics <strong>and</strong> ecumenism.<br />
Baima & NCTI Staff F<br />
APOLOGETICS<br />
“Apologetics” comes from the Greek word for “defense speech,” as when a defendant<br />
in a trial would defend himself against the charges filed against him. Because<br />
the Christian religion was attacked early on by the Roman authorities <strong>and</strong><br />
by pagan writers, some <strong>of</strong> the earliest examples <strong>of</strong> theology inevitably took on the<br />
form <strong>of</strong> these defense speeches. Indeed, the Christian theologians <strong>of</strong> the second<br />
century are generally now called “the Apologists.” Because the Catholic religion is<br />
today also attacked from many quarters, from secularists for its belief in the supernatural,<br />
from Muslims <strong>and</strong> Jews for its belief in the Trinity, from Protestants for<br />
its allegedly “non-biblical” doctrines <strong>of</strong> Mary’s Immaculate Conception <strong>and</strong> Assumption<br />
<strong>and</strong> for its definition <strong>of</strong> papal infallibility, apologetics is at least as necessary<br />
today as it was in the past. This course will look at the history <strong>of</strong> apologetics<br />
but concentrate above all on current attempts to defend <strong>and</strong> justify the Catholic<br />
religion against all comers.<br />

THE EXPERIENCE OF THE TRIUNE GOD: THE THEOLOGY OF<br />
FR. DUMITRU STĂNILOAE (CHR)<br />
This course surveys the theology <strong>and</strong> spirituality <strong>of</strong> Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae (1903-<br />
1993). Arguing against any reduction <strong>of</strong> the human spirit, such as Nationalism<br />
<strong>and</strong> Communism, <strong>and</strong> surviving Communist imprisonment, Stăniloae develops an<br />
original, systematic presentation <strong>of</strong> Orthodox dogmatics <strong>and</strong> integrates a rich<br />
spirituality into his vast œuvre: the God-man Jesus Christ enables our participation<br />
in triune life already in the here <strong>and</strong> now. Along with Karl Rahner <strong>and</strong> Karl<br />
Barth, this Romanian thinker is considered one <strong>of</strong> the towering figures <strong>of</strong> 20th<br />
century theology. This course may be found appealing by those interested in<br />
spirituality, patristics <strong>and</strong> Orthodox systematic theology <strong>and</strong> the integration <strong>and</strong><br />
reciprocal interpenetration <strong>of</strong> the same. (Canonical, Christology, Spirituality)<br />

Christ’s mystical body. The encyclical letters <strong>of</strong> Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis<br />

CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES<br />
This course is an introduction to Catholic Moral <strong>Theology</strong>. Scripture, Tradition<br />
(Magisterium <strong>of</strong> the Church), <strong>and</strong> natural reason studied in light <strong>of</strong> moral decision<br />

SPECIAL MORAL I<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this course is to deepen students’ underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the foundations<br />
<strong>of</strong> Catholic moral theology <strong>and</strong> then engage some practical issues. Part<br />
one explores the scriptural foundations <strong>of</strong> moral theology <strong>and</strong> virtue as a path to<br />
holiness. Part two discusses the dignity <strong>of</strong> the human person <strong>and</strong> its practical<br />
implications for human life in society. Topics to be discussed include: war <strong>and</strong><br />
peace; poverty <strong>and</strong> wealth; private property <strong>and</strong> the free market; the challenges<br />
<strong>of</strong> international development; <strong>and</strong> the life issues <strong>of</strong> abortion <strong>and</strong> capital punishment.<br />

CL214<br />
SPECIAL MORAL II<br />
This course examines sexuality, marriage, <strong>and</strong> family from the perspective <strong>of</strong><br />
Catholic morality. God’s nature as Trinitarian love, the person as imago dei, the<br />
intrinsic goodness <strong>of</strong> the human body (attested to by both Incarnation <strong>and</strong> Resurrection),<br />
the human vocation as self-gift, the grace <strong>of</strong> baptism, <strong>and</strong> marriage as<br />
an indissoluble spiritual sign <strong>of</strong> the union between Christ <strong>and</strong> his church, all instantiate<br />
the redemptive possibility <strong>of</strong> sex as a true language <strong>of</strong> love. At the<br />
same time, the wounds <strong>of</strong> original sin, the dividedness <strong>of</strong> the human will, <strong>and</strong><br />
various “structures <strong>of</strong> sin” pervading modern culture instantiate the possible misuse<br />
<strong>of</strong> sex to objectify, degrade, <strong>and</strong> abuse both self <strong>and</strong> others. After clarifying<br />
the Church’s underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the problem <strong>and</strong> her recommended solutions, students<br />
in the course will participate in mock practice conversations with parishioners<br />
on the following topics: marriage <strong>and</strong> family life, cohabitation, adultery, homosexuality,<br />
fornication, pornography, masturbation, contraception, <strong>and</strong> natural family<br />
planning.<br />

INTRODUCTION TO SPIRITUAL THEOLOGY<br />
Spirituality asks the simple question: What is holiness? In this course we will be<br />
attempting to answer that question by looking at the lives <strong>of</strong> the saints. Saints<br />
from different times <strong>and</strong> places reveal the many different approaches <strong>and</strong> paths<br />
that can lead to holiness. Particular emphasis will be placed on those saints who<br />
developed distinct practices such as Francis, Ignatius, Dominic <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Carmelites.<br />

SPECIAL MORAL III<br />
This is a three phase course – medical ethics, Christian marriage <strong>and</strong> Catholic<br />
human sexuality. It is pastoral in nature. It treats <strong>of</strong> contemporary moral issues<br />
within the practice <strong>of</strong> medicine. End <strong>of</strong> life, artificial feeding <strong>and</strong> hydration, human<br />
transplantation, embryonic stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, cloning,<br />
<strong>and</strong> other moral relevant issues will be discussed from a moral perspective. The<br />
two other phases <strong>of</strong> the course, Christian marriage <strong>and</strong> Catholic human sexuality<br />
will be treated from an historical-theological perspective. It will trace <strong>and</strong> analyze<br />
the present day Church’s teachings on Christian marriage <strong>and</strong> human sexuality<br />
as they developed throughout the centuries.<br />

THE SPLENDOR OF TRUTH (Veritatis Splendor) (M-1)<br />
Veritatis Splendor is an encyclical <strong>of</strong> John Paul II which treats fundamental questions<br />
regarding the church’s moral teaching. This course will study these questions<br />
<strong>and</strong> other moral issues that the Pope discusses. The course will also be an<br />
in-depth analysis <strong>of</strong> the methodology that the Magisterium employs in determining<br />
proper moral behavior.<br />

BUSINESS ETHICS (M-5)<br />
The business world today which operates under the capitalist theory puts great<br />
emphasis on the unrestrained right <strong>of</strong> individuals <strong>and</strong> businesses to pursue their<br />
own economic self-interest. Thus, the principles <strong>and</strong> values which flourish in the<br />
world <strong>of</strong> business are formed in reference to success in business. This course<br />
studies business practices in the light <strong>of</strong> Christian values <strong>and</strong> principles. The<br />
class employs lecture, discussion, <strong>and</strong> case study methods.<br />

THE SPIRITUAL PILGRIM - PILGRIMAGE<br />
In the Incarnation heaven <strong>and</strong> earth have kissed <strong>and</strong> there arises in the human<br />
heart a strong desire to connect with the holy in a tangible way. And so people<br />
embark on pilgrimages to go to places where Christ or his saints have actually<br />
touched. These localizations <strong>of</strong> theophanies become places <strong>of</strong> great spiritual<br />
growth. This course will explore the rich tradition <strong>of</strong> the Pilgrimage with a specific<br />
focus on preparing for the 3 rd Year Pilgrimage In the Footsteps <strong>of</strong> Peter <strong>and</strong> Paul.<br />

AMERICAN CATHOLIC IMMIGRANTS<br />
Since the middle <strong>of</strong> the nineteenth century, the American Catholic Church<br />
has to respond to growing numbers <strong>of</strong> Catholic immigrants. The pastoral<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> the new Irish, German, Polish, <strong>and</strong> Italian immigrants dem<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
the attention <strong>of</strong> the American Catholic Bishops. This course examines<br />
the various needs <strong>of</strong> these groups <strong>and</strong> the responses <strong>of</strong> the American<br />
Catholic Church. The issues <strong>of</strong> language <strong>and</strong> culture <strong>of</strong>ten created tensions<br />
within the American Catholic Church. A study <strong>of</strong> these immigrant<br />
groups shows how the character <strong>of</strong> the American Catholic Church was<br />
shaped during these seventy years.<br />

EUROPEAN INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN CATHOLICISM<br />
The Roman Catholic Church in the United States developed between 1840 <strong>and</strong><br />
1920 into an institution that was at once both uniquely American <strong>and</strong> very much<br />
European. When successive waves <strong>of</strong> Catholic immigrants-Irish, Polish, Italian<br />
<strong>and</strong> Hispanic, arrived in America between 1840 <strong>and</strong> 1950, the Church’s effort to<br />
organize these new Americans into a unified urban Church transformed both the<br />
immigrants <strong>and</strong> the Church.<br />

involvement are education, pastoral care, prayer <strong>and</strong> liturgy, preaching, <strong>and</strong> adult<br />
faith life. This is a supervised, parish-based experience <strong>and</strong> ordinarily takes place<br />
in the home diocese. (Nine credits)<br />

done during the Internship are the primary retrieval instruments. A paper<br />
developing the theology present in one's ministry is required. (All 3rd Year)<br />

This course will focus on the theory <strong>and</strong> practice <strong>of</strong> aspects <strong>of</strong> effective pastoral<br />
ministry. Among the areas considered are conflict, communication, groups, <strong>and</strong><br />
meetings. Through role playing, discussion <strong>of</strong> experiences, presentation <strong>of</strong><br />
theory, <strong>and</strong> various exercises, the student will gain an in-depth knowledge <strong>and</strong><br />
framework to deal with these vital areas, which are <strong>of</strong>ten judged to affect more<br />
than half <strong>of</strong> a pastor's time.<br />

GOD’S MISSION IN THE WORLD AND OUR PARTICIPATION<br />
"The pilgrim Church on earth is missionary by its very nature" (AG 2).<br />
Mission is not solely about going to another country, or another people. It is about<br />
living out our baptismal responsibility <strong>of</strong> sharing in the mission <strong>of</strong> Christ. In this<br />
course we will establish a strong theological foundation for a Catholic underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
<strong>of</strong> mission. We will look at the various paradigms <strong>of</strong> mission that have characterized<br />
mission praxis in their historical context. We will also examine the major<br />
Church documents on mission. With this background in mind we will consider<br />
questions <strong>of</strong> culture <strong>and</strong> mission praxis in parish life.<br />

SACRAMENTAL AESTHETICS<br />
Beauty is the splendor <strong>of</strong> truth, <strong>and</strong> the concept <strong>of</strong> the aesthetic refers to the experience<br />
<strong>of</strong> beauty. Theological aesthetics would then treat beauty as the manner<br />
in which God’s goodness gives itself <strong>and</strong> is understood as the truth. Special attention<br />
will be given to how this occurs in the liturgical life <strong>of</strong> the Church. After a<br />
general introduction, it considers theological aesthetics in the West (Thomas) <strong>and</strong><br />
in the East (iconogra-phy).<br />

CHRISTIAN INITIATION<br />
The sacraments <strong>of</strong> initiation – Baptism, Confirmation, <strong>and</strong> Eucharist – guide a<br />

rites <strong>of</strong> initiation are examined in their theologi-cal, historical, canonical, <strong>and</strong><br />
practical aspects. In particular, the Rite <strong>of</strong> Christian Initiation <strong>of</strong> Adults (RCIA) is<br />
studied in detail. Special atten-tion is given to the patristic documents which constitute<br />

during the twentieth century are dis-cussed in detail. The current musical<br />
structure <strong>of</strong> the Roman liturgy is explored, <strong>and</strong> practical principles for the advancement<br />

The Church’s liturgy has always existed in dynamic relationship with the complex<br />
currents <strong>of</strong> culture <strong>and</strong> history. The interplay between liturgy <strong>and</strong> culture is <strong>of</strong> considerable<br />
importance in Catholicism today. This course examines the Church’s<br />
liturgy in the light <strong>of</strong> social history, the humanities, <strong>and</strong> cultural theory. Attention is<br />
given to the influences <strong>of</strong> modernity <strong>and</strong> post-modernity on liturgical developments.<br />
The post conciliar agenda <strong>of</strong> inculturation in its various expressions is<br />

PRINCIPLES OF SACRAMENTAL THEOLOGY<br />
This study <strong>of</strong> Catholic doctrinal tradition draws upon patristic, medi-eval, <strong>and</strong><br />
modern theologians to uncover the fundamental principles <strong>of</strong> sacramental theology.<br />
The nature <strong>of</strong> sacramental symbol, theories <strong>of</strong> sacramental causality <strong>and</strong> efficacy,<br />
the institution <strong>and</strong> number <strong>of</strong> the sacraments, <strong>and</strong> sacramental grace are<br />
examined in the context <strong>of</strong> an overarching Trinitarian, Christological, <strong>and</strong> ecclesial<br />
framework. Par-ticular attention is paid to the renewed underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the<br />

the Church are distinguished <strong>and</strong> described. The pastoral ministry <strong>of</strong> the ordained<br />
is seen in its ecclesiological context <strong>and</strong> purpose, with attention given to a<br />
proper underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> hierarchy. Special attention is given to the sacramentality<br />
<strong>of</strong> marriage, a theology <strong>of</strong> sexuality, <strong>and</strong> the relationship between marriage <strong>and</strong><br />
celibacy.<br />

LITURGICAL ART AND ARCHITECTURE<br />
Symbol is the fundamental medium for religion <strong>and</strong> its ritual elabora-tion, <strong>and</strong><br />
liturgical art <strong>and</strong> architecture are understood as part <strong>of</strong> the symbol system <strong>of</strong> the<br />
rite. The following are examined for their rel-evance to the proper underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
<strong>of</strong> Catholic worship: the classical inheritance, ritual anthropology, <strong>and</strong> theories <strong>of</strong><br />
symbol <strong>and</strong> language. Particular attention is given to the tradition <strong>of</strong> Catholic architecture<br />
through the centuries, movements in Modernism <strong>and</strong> Post-Modernism,<br />
<strong>and</strong> recent moves toward a reintegration <strong>of</strong> tradition in new design. This course<br />
will address styles, types, <strong>and</strong> meanings in sacred architecture <strong>and</strong> the allied arts<br />
with a focus on the developments <strong>and</strong> movements <strong>of</strong> the 20th century. The<br />

various methods <strong>of</strong> approaching them that are found in secondary sources. The<br />
focus is on liturgical documents, although other documents pertaining to the liturgy<br />
will also be discussed. The time period under consideration extends from the<br />
first centuries <strong>of</strong> Christianity to the Second Vatican Council. Subsequent develop<br />
ments <strong>and</strong> contemporary liturgical documents are studied in other classes. Here<br />
students will be provided with a history <strong>of</strong> liturgical books <strong>and</strong> developments in<br />
liturgy as a means <strong>of</strong> more deeply appropriating the tradition that underlies the<br />

RECONCILIATION, ANOINTING, DEATH<br />
The two “sacraments <strong>of</strong> healing” – anointing <strong>of</strong> the sick <strong>and</strong> penance – are covered<br />
in this course. An examination <strong>of</strong> the origin <strong>and</strong> develop-ment <strong>of</strong> the sacrament<br />
<strong>of</strong> penance sheds light on the Church’s revised rites <strong>and</strong> their theological<br />
underpinnings. The rites <strong>of</strong> the Church’s sacramental ministry to the sick <strong>and</strong><br />
dying, <strong>and</strong> her funeral liturgy, are placed in the context <strong>of</strong> an anthropology which<br />
expresses the paschal character <strong>and</strong> eschatological significance <strong>of</strong> a Christian’s<br />

is considered. Particular at-tention is given both to distinctive theological themes<br />
within these rites <strong>and</strong> to the manner in which the renewal <strong>of</strong> western Catholic<br />

RITUAL, SYMBOL, AND WORSHIP<br />
Symbol is the fundamental medium for religion <strong>and</strong> its ritual elabora-tion. The<br />
nature <strong>and</strong> function <strong>of</strong> symbol <strong>and</strong> ritual in liturgical worship is considered. The<br />
following are examined for their relevance to the un-derst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> Catholic worship:<br />
the phenomenology <strong>of</strong> religion; ritual anthropology; various theories <strong>of</strong> symbol;<br />
language theory. Particular at-tention is given to the manner in which modern<br />
symbolic studies provide an underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the scholastic maxim, “sacraments<br />
confer grace by signifying.”<br />

EUCHARIST: ORIGINS AND STRUCTURE<br />
This class begins with a study <strong>of</strong> the origins <strong>of</strong> the Eucharist at the Last Supper. It<br />
follows the historical development <strong>of</strong> Eucharistic worship in the patristic period<br />
<strong>and</strong> the middle ages. The revision <strong>of</strong> the Roman rite following the Council <strong>of</strong> Trent<br />
is considered, along with the transition to the 1970 missal. Finally students will<br />
study the Missale Romanum <strong>of</strong> 2002 in detail, as well as questions regarding<br />
translation <strong>of</strong> liturgical texts. Knowledge <strong>of</strong> Latin is recommended but not required.<br />

LITURGICAL PREPARATION AND TRAINING<br />
Practical <strong>and</strong> theological questions regarding the collaboration <strong>of</strong> the nonordained<br />
faithful in the priests’ sacred ministry are discussed <strong>and</strong> examined. Students<br />
will study the liturgical <strong>and</strong> para-liturgical rites at which laity may preside,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the procedures <strong>and</strong> preparation required for these celebrations. Also treated<br />
are the practical matters <strong>of</strong> organiz-ing <strong>and</strong> overseeing the liturgical life <strong>of</strong> a diocese,<br />
parish, community, or other Catholic institution, including the training <strong>and</strong><br />
oversight <strong>of</strong> lay liturgical ministry <strong>and</strong> the organization <strong>and</strong> operation <strong>of</strong> an <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN THOUGHT I-IV<br />
The required courses, History <strong>of</strong> Christian Thought I-IV, parallel the periods <strong>of</strong> major development<br />
in liturgical <strong>and</strong> sacramental theology <strong>and</strong> provide an indispensable basis for theology <strong>of</strong> the sacraments.<br />
In collaboration with the pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> each course <strong>and</strong>/or with the Director <strong>of</strong> the Liturgical<br />
Institute, LI students seeking an S.T.L. will structure research topics in keeping with the sacramental<br />
concentration <strong>of</strong> the program. Students seeking an S.T.L. with a concentration in sacramental<br />
theology must complete five 3-credit electives in addition to the required Licentiate curriculum.<br />

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN THOUGHT I<br />
This course will examine Christology, Doctrine <strong>of</strong> God, <strong>and</strong> Theological Anthropology<br />
in the New Testament to see how these are in the earliest traditions <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Church. With that as a background, students will then examine the writings <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Apostolic Fathers <strong>and</strong> the Apologists to see how these developed in the second<br />
century <strong>of</strong> Christianity.<br />
Liturgical Institute students, with a concentration in sacramental theology, will<br />
focus their research in order to examine the data <strong>of</strong> the Old <strong>and</strong> New Testaments<br />
as the biblical foundation <strong>of</strong> Christian sacraments <strong>and</strong> to explore the texts <strong>and</strong><br />
traditional practices that provide the liturgical framework <strong>of</strong> the apostolic-era<br />
Church.<br />

CLASSICS OF 20TH CENTURY THEOLOGY<br />
This course will explore the works <strong>of</strong> five <strong>of</strong> the most important <strong>and</strong> influential<br />
Christian theologians <strong>of</strong> the twentieth century: Barth, Tillich, von Balthasar, Rahner,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Lonergan. We will read major texts <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> these figures, concentrating<br />
on questions <strong>of</strong> theological method, the relationship between religion <strong>and</strong><br />
culture, the knowability <strong>of</strong> God, the rapport between philosophy <strong>and</strong> faith, theological<br />
anthropology <strong>and</strong> the centrality <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN THOUGHT II<br />
This course is a close examination <strong>of</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> the Catholic Tradition in<br />
both the East <strong>and</strong> West from 200 to 800 AD. Emphasis is placed on a critical<br />
reading <strong>of</strong> texts from significant authors that highlight the major themes <strong>of</strong> Christology,<br />
Trinitarian <strong>Theology</strong>, <strong>and</strong> Theological Anthropology. The texts are set in<br />
context <strong>of</strong> the general history <strong>of</strong> the Christian Church during these centuries, including,<br />
Christianity's encounter with the rise <strong>of</strong> Islam. Since the patristic era is<br />
considered to have exhibited the most integrated sacramental consciousness <strong>of</strong><br />
any period in Christian history, students with a concentration in sacramental theology<br />
will be directed to study the constellation <strong>of</strong> sacramental themes in the early<br />
Greek <strong>and</strong> Latin Fathers in the context <strong>of</strong> the liturgical practice <strong>and</strong> liturgical/<br />
mystagogical preaching <strong>of</strong> the time. They may consider Fathers such as Augustine,<br />
John Chrysostom, Pseudo-Dionysius, <strong>and</strong> Maximus the Confessor. Their<br />
study may be enhanced by study <strong>of</strong> the manner in which patristic sacramental<br />
thought informed modern liturgical renewal <strong>and</strong> the work <strong>of</strong> theologians such as<br />
Jean Danielou, Odo Casel, Romano Guardini, <strong>and</strong> Louis Bouyer. (6 hrs)<br />

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN THOUGHT III<br />
During this quarter, we will examine the development <strong>of</strong> the Doctrine <strong>of</strong> God in<br />
the Catholic Tradition, primarily in the Latin West, from Boethius to St. Thomas<br />
Aquinas. From a vast literature, we will emphasize a critical reading <strong>of</strong> selected<br />
texts from Boethius, Dionysius, John Scotus Eriguena, Anselm, Bernard <strong>of</strong> Clairvaux,<br />
Bonaventure, <strong>and</strong> Thomas Aquinas that highlight the major themes <strong>of</strong> Trinitarian<br />
<strong>Theology</strong>. The texts will be set in the context <strong>of</strong> the general history <strong>of</strong> philosophy<br />
<strong>and</strong> theology during these centuries.<br />

CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT<br />
This course will examine selected authors whose contributions exemplify leading<br />
currents <strong>and</strong> concerns in post-conciliar Catholicism: liberation theology <strong>and</strong> feminist<br />
theology, Trinitarian theology, <strong>and</strong> the Thomist revival. The concerns addressed<br />
by these authors will be placed in the larger context <strong>of</strong> the movements<br />
they represent <strong>and</strong> assessed with reference to the fundamental criteria for Catholic<br />
theological method.<br />

THEOLOGICAL REFLECTION I<br />
The basic model <strong>of</strong> theological reflection as transformative (from DM500) is studied<br />
in depth. Each student addresses a pastoral situation using the model <strong>and</strong><br />
aided by group critique <strong>and</strong> suggestions. By the end <strong>of</strong> the curse, the student<br />
should be able to analyze the transformational possibilities in any pastoral situation.<br />

SPANISH MYSTICS<br />
Theological Reflection divorced from prayer is simply impossible. From the earliest<br />
times <strong>of</strong> the Church, the theologian was also a pastor <strong>and</strong> to try to do theology<br />
without the firm foundation <strong>of</strong> ministry, prayer <strong>and</strong> discernment leads directly to<br />
problems. To help make this connection, <strong>and</strong> to further theological reflection prayer<br />
<strong>and</strong> discernment, the Spanish Mystics: Ignatius <strong>of</strong> Loyola, Teresa <strong>of</strong> Avila <strong>and</strong><br />
John <strong>of</strong> the Cross.<br />

SYSTEMS: THINKING FOR PASTORAL MINISTRY<br />
Parish life is made up <strong>of</strong> complex <strong>and</strong> dynamic systems. Too <strong>of</strong>ten constrained by<br />
ingrained practices, rigid ministerial scripts, <strong>and</strong> structured workflow, ministers<br />
can become overwhelmed with the tasks <strong>of</strong> managing ministry rather than leading<br />
the community <strong>of</strong> faith. This course provides an overview <strong>of</strong> systems thinking <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong>fers strategies <strong>and</strong> models to enhance organizational effectiveness.<br />

HOMILETICS AS THEOLOGICAL REFLECTION<br />
The homily suggests a useful method <strong>of</strong> theological reflection. This course will<br />
consider the special questions the homily asks <strong>of</strong> the lections, in preparing to<br />
preach them as “a part <strong>of</strong> the liturgy itself.”<br />

PAUL AS PASTOR<br />
Paul is <strong>of</strong>ten called the first Christian theologian. However, Paul was just as much<br />
a pastor as a theologian. It’s always challenging to try to summarize Paul’s theology<br />
because he was moved to write in response to specific problems in various<br />
churches. Paul’s “churches” were no bigger in terms <strong>of</strong> population than our moderately<br />
sized parishes. When Paul was no longer on site, he exercised pastoral<br />
leadership using a common medium <strong>of</strong> communication—the letter or epistle—in a<br />
new, creative way. To discover Paul’s pastoral strategies, we will pay attention to<br />
the intended effects upon the audience <strong>of</strong> hearing Paul’s letters. For this purpose,<br />
we will read <strong>and</strong> study three letters in which Paul seems to be most “pastoral”: 1<br />
Thessalonians; 1 & 2 Corinthians. We want to ask, among other questions: “What<br />
strategies is Paul employing in his pastoral ministry to these churches?” “What<br />
implications might Paul’s strategies have for our own ministries?”<br />
