Notre Dame Seminary

A Message from the Rector

Dear Friends of Notre Dame Seminary:

Our academic year ended with a great loss – the death of Father John Arnone who served as the assistant director of pastoral formation for our seminarians. On May 5, 2017, Father John Arnone, 49, died of complications following a surgical procedure that was to alleviate issues with his heart.

As so many of you know, the wake at the seminary and the funeral Mass brought thousands of people to offer their thanks to God for his ministry and for everyone to offer their support to the Arnone Family.

In light of the tremendous outpouring for Father John and his love of life and ministry, his family and priest friends have established the Fr. John Arnone Memorial Fund to support pastoral formation of present and future seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary.

This fund will be used to provide pastoral and leadership training for our future pastors of the Church. We greatly appreciate all those who have already contributed to the Fr. John Arnone Memorial Fund.

Online donations may be made to Notre Dame Seminary in memory of Fr. John at nds.edu/donate-now; by mail to Notre Dame Seminary, 2901 S. Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118 attn: Development Office; or by phone (504) 866-7426, ext. 374.

We are grateful to the Arnone Family for establishing this Fund, and we continue to pray for Father John Arnone as he rests in the peace of God's Kingdom. Thank you for your support of Notre Dame Seminary.

Sincerely yours in the Lord,

Reverend James A. Wehner, S.T.D.
Rector/President

Although most of the seminarians departed for the summer after graduation, over 25 seminarians commemorated the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13, the 100th anniversary of the start of apparitions to the shepherd children in Fatima. The seminarians and rector led a Rosary Procession with the statue of Our Lady of Fatima through our local neighborhood. The owners of Ye Olde College Inn and Rock 'N' Bowl hosted the procession with a breakfast that followed. [ 46 more words ]
