Aprašymas

Each year since 1888, young Catholic men, selected by their Bishops or religious superiors, have entered the Pontifical College Josephinum, the only such seminary under the aegis of the Vatican in North America. The Josephinum was first established by Father John Joseph Jessing to train priests to serve German- speaking immigrants to the United States. Over time, this unique seminary has evolved into an institution which is both Missionary and National, as well As Pontifical. It has educated seminarians from countries throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America while always remaining faithful to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Seminarians experience life in community; sharing meals, liturgy, pastoral assignment and recreational opportunities with over 200 others with the same vision and aspirations. Committed to faithful observance of the Program For Priestly Foundation of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Joephinum seminarians grow in the four dimensions of priestly formation: Human, Intellectual, Spiritual And Pastoral. Through apostolic works in the parishes and diocesan outreach programs of Columbus, Ohio, they prepare for active priesthood in their home dioceses or religious communities. In 2013 and 2014 author J. F. (Jack) Leahy interviewed dozens of current seminarians and recorded their reflections, hopes, aspirations and even their concerns and criticisms about this "House That Joseph Built". We applaud their candor and great good humor as they share their personal journeys.
