Easter 2022
Dear Friends in Christ:
As we celebrate the Easter Mysteries, we do so recognizing the ongoing relief efforts from hurricanes the past two years, the war in the Ukraine, and the effects of the pandemic on our families. Our Holy Father has called the Universal Church to a path of synodality in which we discern the Providence of God to live as disciples of Jesus in an ever-changing world. Notre Dame Seminary remains committed to the highest ideals of priestly formation preparing future pastoral leaders who will unite Christians into the one Body of Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As we soon conclude the Spring semester, seminarians are preparing for ordination to the priesthood and diaconate, summer parish and hospital assignments, language immersion, and excursions. Applicants are preparing to arrive in August to start their discernment and formation. The community is preparing for the new rector while I am preparing for my next assignment in Pittsburgh. The seminary remains a healthy and vibrant community due to the dedication of seminarians, faculty, and staff; the prayers of our benefactors and supporters; and the confidence of our bishops and vocation directors. May the Lord continue to bless all involved with ministry in priestly formation. Blessings in this Easter Season!
Father James A. Wehner
