CONVERGING IN

CHRIST

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were

not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where [I] am going

you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where

you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then

you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have

seen him.” - John 14:1-7

At the beginning of the school year when I met with our incoming seminarians, I recounted that something momentous had happened over the summer: I watched

a movie while it was still in the theater! I watched Star Trek Beyond and the most memorable part of this movie for me was when Captain Kirk looks upon his career of space exploration with Starfleet. He muses that since space is infinite, there is always more to explore – more planets to see, more species to encounter. Such exploration can be incredibly exciting, yet he reflects that after a while of exploring the “infinite”, this once-adventuresome task can become monotonous drudgery because of the lack of any endpoint or goal. Without any sort of destination, space exploration – and life – looks more like one of futility.

Yet our nature as humans created by God demands that we explore the infinite. Unlike Kirk’s goal-less infinite, that which we are meant to know and love is a personal God who is infinite in Being. Seminary formation is all about discovering this infinite God. Because God is infinite, there’s always more to learn about God: his being and essence, his created effects, and so forth. The infinite God will always surpass the finite human mind; there will always be mysteries that we can never fully comprehend. Yet learning more about God becomes a joyous and also terrifying adventure that actually has a reachable destination. Our goal in knowing and loving the infinite God is our supernatural end of union with God Himself,

and this attainment of the infinite is feasible for us as humans through God’s grace.

As a communauté educatrice in the Sulpician tradition, our teaching faculty guides our seminarians in the adventure of exploring the infinite reality of God and his effects. Our faculty members come from some of the best universities around the world: Oxford University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Toronto, Marquette University, the Pontifical Gregorian University, the Catholic University of America, and the University of Southern California, just to name a few. The diverse areas of academic focus, variety of ethnic backgrounds, wide range of interests and hobbies, and even different vocations of our faculty members demonstrate to our students the unique ways in which one can finitely participate in God’s infinite goodness.

As the newly-appointed Academic Dean and a member of the formation and teaching faculty, it is an honor to work with the faculty to form our seminarians to know and love our infinite God and to encourage them to participate in God’s infinity in their own ways. I am blessed to be mentored by two of our former academic deans, Fr. Gladstone Stevens, PSS and Fr. Anthony Pogorelc, PSS who now serve as our Rector and Director of Field Education, respectively. I look forward to continuing their work of ensuring a solid academic program that is well-integrated with the other dimensions of formation and of supporting our faculty in this mission.

The Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy instituted last year by Pope Francis continues. I have witnessed some beautiful acts and works of mercy during this time.

Pope Francis has implemented examples, such as welcoming three Syrian refugee families, and implementing 24 Hours for the Lord, an event that ensures Confession will be available in each diocese for 24 hours on a selected day. He has visited numerous countries to share his pastoral and spiritual presence with them, demonstrating his willingness not only to lead with words, but also actions. Here at St. Patrick’s we have taken our own steps to follow his lead.

When entering the seminary, one will see a variety of quotes from Pope Francis displayed on banners, which articulate the type of priest he desires for the Church: men of service, men who can live in the world but not be of it, priests who can mercifully journey with the people without reserve.

The emphasis on holy and merciful priests began from creation and found its clearest fulfillment in Jesus. The message of mercy originates in God, especially through Christ’s encounter with the woman at the well, by his healing of the soldier’s servant, and by his forgiveness and pardoning of the woman caught in adultery. It has always been Christian to be merciful.

Christ calls for mercy, not only during the Year of Mercy or the next year, but throughout our lives. It is a calling for those who desire to follow the lead of Pope Francis and the lead of Christ. As Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew (uttering the words of the prophet Hosea), “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.” Jesus came to call us, who, like Pope Francis, are sinners striving to be merciful saints.

FAREWELL

Sister Paula Jean Miller, FSE

For over fifty years, Fr. John Kselman, PSS, world-renowned scholar of the Psalms and Sulpician Father, served seminarians at St. Patrick’s, St. Mary’s, and the Weston School of Theology at Boston College. Many fondly recall seeing Fr. John in the library. After Mass and breakfast, he would make his way to the library, read through The New York Times and peruse the library’s display of new books. Fr. John moved to the Sulpician retirement center in September. We are grateful for your many years of dedicated service as teacher, spiritual director, and colleague. We miss you, Fr. John, and our prayers are with you.

Rev. John Kselman, PSS

The community greatly misses Sister Paula Jean Miller, FSE, a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, who served St. Patrick’s Seminary for over three years as a faculty member and formator. Her wisdom and knowledge not only made her a great teacher of systematic theology, but also a strong academic advisor and mentor. Sister Paula Jean always had an attentive ear to the needs of the seminarians. She guided in such a way that allowed us to foster our strengths and gifts to help us be better ministers to the people of God. We wish Sister Paula Jean Godspeed in her

next ministry.

Sister Mary Roberta Conners, FSE, a member of the community of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, will be greatly missed by the seminary community. Her gifts as formator and Pastoral Year Director allowed her to instill in the seminarians greater compassion to see the needs of the people in their parishes. Sister inspired

seminarians to be the best they could be. We miss you Sister Mary.

Sister Mary Roberta Conners, FSE

Sister Armanda Santos, FSP

There are no words that could ever express the impact Sister Armanda has had on the community here at St. Patrick’s. She would share our meals, come to our celebrations, and immerse herself in our lives. Her work and charism made her a wonderful example of what it means to live a life totally given over to God. Sister worked as the Field Education Director and as a formator for five years. Sister says, “What I really miss tremendously is the seminarians; encouraging them, listening to them, to their hopes and challenges.” We wish you success in your future ministries, Sister Armanda.


ALUMNI CORNER

Rev. Raj R. DeriveraAlumni ‘16

Fr. Raj Derivera is a priest of the Diocese of Sacramento currently assigned as the Parochial Vicar of St. John Vianney Parish in Rancho Cordova. Fr. Raj completed an MDiv and STB at St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in the Spring of 2016. His favorite saints are St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, St. Peter, and the Holy Martyrs of every generation. He loves all the feasts that the Church celebrates, because it often involves three of his favorite things: the Liturgy, parties, and food.

As I began to write this reflection, I surveyed my office desk. Littered with post-its and prayer cards, messages from the office staff, an invitation to a parish group’s

event, an unfinished letter to a friend, a half-eaten pastry and a mug of lukewarm coffee, my desk stands as a reminder to me of how messy parish life can be - how messy, indeed, life can be. This lesson is one that in my short priesthood I have learned quite quickly.

I am reminded of a homily given by the Archbishop of Glasgow, the Most Reverend Philip Tartaglia, during the the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the Family (2014). In that homily, His Grace said: “Love always has to reach into the realities, the practicalities, the sometimes messy circumstances of real life, family, friendship, work, and politics.” I have discovered that this type of love is at the heart of our priestly ministry. On not an infrequent basis, even in these few months of priesthood, I am invited into situations that are indeed incredibly messy. Painful. Broken. Human. I think of situations like parents grieving over the sudden death of an infant, wondering how God could, after one month, take away that which they were lovingly preparing for for nine; or a young woman so eagerly, but imperfectly, trying to follow the Lord’s call to chastity in a world that consistently invites her to do otherwise; or a father who has lost his job, and is losing trust that God does indeed hear our prayers and provide for our needs. Apart from love, one might be tempted to avoid these difficult situations

altogether. Likewise, without formation, one would be poorly prepared to enter into them. With strong formation, however, a priest might be inclined to act courageously, rather than cowardly, in a situation that demands him to be. Well-formed, a priest might be better prepared to relate to and engage with his people in these painful, broken moments. A priest rooted in prayer, with a strong spiritual formation, might more readily turn to our Lord in these messy situations rather than placing total confidence in himself and his abilities.

Now, indeed, have I learned that rarely are we ever fully prepared. It will still be messy. I thank God, however, for my formation in the seminary, and my continued formation today, and for assisting me in carrying out this work - this love - that our Lord has laid before me. Trusting in the Holy Spirit, and leaning on my formation over the years, I have entered into all kinds of messiness, and I am always amazed how the Lord continues to draw goodness out of the most broken of situations. Out of ugliness, beauty. Out of darkness, light. Out of death, life.

As we approach the season of Advent, and shortly thereafter the Nativity of Our Lord, these notions of entering into messiness take on an even more significant meaning. Leaving his throne in heaven, he took on “the lowliness of our flesh.” And every time we bow our heads at that moment of the Creed where we say, “and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,” we are reminded of this beautiful truth - our Lord entered willingly into the messiness of our lives. For a parish priest, this mystery resounds even stronger. After all, if our Lord is willing to enter into the messiness, maybe he is calling us to do likewise.

Yes. Right now my desk is incredibly messy, and I look forward to the day that it is not. That day will never come, if I just avoid it altogether.


SOCIETY OF ST. SULPICE225TH ANNIVERSARY

Very Rev. John C. Kemper, PSSProvincial Superior

Rev. John C. Kemper, PSS, is the Provincial Superior of the Society of St. Sulpice, Province of the United States. A priest of the Diocese of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Fr. Kemper is a graduate of Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland and holds a doctorate in Pastoral Ministry from Pacific School of Religion (GTU), Berkeley, California. He served as a faculty member of a number of of seminaries. Most recently, Fr. Kemper served as the Executive Director of St. Mary’s Spiritual Center & Historic Site, Baltimore. Fr. Kemper also served as a Provincial Consultor for the past twelve years.

Shortly after Bishop John Carroll was appointed as the nation’s first bishop, he realized the need for a well-formed native clergy. Bishop Carroll asked Fr. Jacques-André Emery, Superior

General of the Sulpician Fathers, for Sulpicians to come and establish the first Roman Catholic seminary in the United States. In July of 1791 the first band of Sulpicians arrived at the Port of Baltimore, equipped with all they needed to open a seminary, including five seminarians. This marked the beginning of St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland.

In their first century, the Sulpicians played a vital part in the formation of a number of congregations of women religious as well as the primary work of forming future priests. The two most notable are the Daughters/Sisters of Charity founded by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Under the leadership and guidance of the Sulpicians both in Baltimore and in Emmitsburg, Maryland, Mother Seton’s dream became a reality. Almost fifty years later, with the help of Sulpician Father Hector Joubert, Mother Mary Lange founded the Oblate Sisters of Providence for women of color.

Likewise the initial Sulpicians from France contributed greatly to the early foundation of the episcopacy in the United States. A few notable examples include: Bishops Bruté (Vencennes, Indiana), Chanche (Natchez, Mississippi) DuBourg (New Orleans), and Flaget (Bardstown, Kentucky).

Among the more notable priest alumni are Fr. Michael J. McGivney (class of 1877), founder of the Knights

of Columbus, Fr. Thomas F. Price (class of 1886), co-founder of Maryknolls, Sulpician Father Raymond E. Brown (class of 1953) pre-eminent scripture scholar, and Cardinal James Gibbons (class of 1861), a leading voice in defense of the worker. Cardinal Gibbons once remarked, “What Bishop Carroll has been to the hierarchy of the United States, the Sulpician Fathers have been to the clergy: he has been a model of the American episcopate, they have been a model of the clergy” (Catholic Review, June 1912).

In 1898, the first Sulpician Fathers came to Menlo Park to establish the foundation for what would become St. Patrick’s Seminary. At the time, it was the first Roman Catholic seminary west of the Rocky Mountains. For the past 118 years, the Sulpician Fathers have staffed St. Patrick’s Seminary and maintain an active role in forming and educating priests to serve the Catholic Church on the West Coast. Several current bishops have been Sulpician trained: Archbishop John C. Wester (Santa Fe), and Bishops Randolph R. Calvo (Reno), Thomas A. Daly (Spokane), Ryan P. Jimenez (Chalan Kanoa), William J. Justice (San Francisco), Richard J. Garcia (Monterey), Clarence (Larry) Silva (Honolulu), Robert W. McElroy (San Diego).

Over the last 225 years, the Society of St. Sulpice has formed and educated thousands of our nation’s priests, many of whom became Church leaders. The Society of St. Sulpice is proud of its history and contributions made to the Catholic Church, as well as for our alumni that continue to serve the Church across the country.

Society of St. Sulpice



St. Patrick’s Seminary hosted its 2016 Gala in honor of the Knights of Columbus deemed by Pope St. John Paul II to be “the strong right arm of the Church.” In 1881, while serving as pastor

of St. Mary’s in New Haven, the Venerable Michael McGivney began to envision for the Church an organized body of laymen who would at once promote religious faith and attend to the material needs of struggling families. Fr. McGivney’s vision quickly became a reality: in 1882, the Knights of Columbus, a society of Catholic men committed to unity and charity, were officially chartered in Connecticut as a fraternal benefit society. The Knights have untiringly demonstrated their fidelity to the Church through a wide variety of programs and initiatives, including financial support for seminarians in formation.

The Gala evening commenced with Solemn Vespers, celebrated by President-Rector, Fr. Gladstone Stevens, PSS. Fr. Stevens’ homily highlighted the paradoxical mission of the seminary as a site wherein men are formed to live out a “timeless” vocation that must necessarily be exercised within time. Though he participates in the eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ, the priest must necessarily minister to a world of constantly shifting circumstances, challenges, and

cultures. Fr. Stevens’ proposed Fr. McGivney as a model of a priest who endeavored to live out this paradox in his ministry. The Sulpicians and the Knights share the same vision insofar as both labor to express that which transcends time within the confines of time. Fr. Steven’s closed by expressing his hope for continued cooperation between the Society of St. Sulpice and Knights of Columbus, whose founder was himself a product of Sulpician formation.

This year, St. Patrick’s Seminary honored in a particular way the Knights of Columbus Chapters: Northern California, Oakland Diocese, San Jose, San Joaquin, and St. Francis. The Seminary is exceptionally grateful to these chapters for their steadfast spiritual and financial support of the seminarians.

The annual Gala is an opportunity to celebrate and support the formation of the Church’s future priests at St. Patrick’s Seminary as well as show gratitude to those who have generously and faithfully cooperated in this mission. May God bless and reward all those who have assisted in the work of preparing men to be priests who, as Fr. Jean Jacques Olier articulates, will “live above all for God in Christ Jesus.”

CELEBRATING A TIMELESS VOCATIONby Seminarian Cameron Pollette


FORMED FOR COMMUNION

Outside the chapel of St. Patrick’s Seminary and University stands the image of Sedes Sapientiae: Mary Seat of Wisdom. We see Mary gently cradling the infant Jesus in her

arms. Their eyes are closed. Their faces display peace, serenity, and love. It is as if we have caught mother and son in a deeply intimate moment. Perhaps the detail that is easily overlooked is the fact that Jesus is laying his hand upon her heart. Mary holds him close; Jesus responds by touching her. This image captures an important aspect of seminary formation: the building of relationship, starting with Christ, then radiating outward into all aspects of our life. The very architecture of the seminary reflects this: the chapel itself stands at the center, while the library, classrooms, offices, and living quarters surround it. What we do in the chapel must transform everything else.

In my seventh and final year of seminary formation, I find myself reflecting on how the Sulpician tradition has influenced me and affected my formation both as a Christian and as a soon-to-be priest. I believe that I have received a deeper understanding of the necessity of communion. This is the Sulpician vision for what a seminary is supposed to be: one community of prayer. Here we are to be formed into priests who work in

our local churches to foster collaboration and build unity among the People of God. This can happen only when we see with the eyes of Christ, looking on the world with compassion and mercy because God has asked us to love His people.

And it doesn’t take much. One evening, while I was walking in front of the seminary, I was approached by a visitor. He asked if he might be allowed to go into the chapel to pray. Since it was after hours, I was supposed to apologize and ask him to return at a different time. But something in my heart told me to let him in; this was where he needed to be. So I did. When I asked if everything was okay, tears filled his eyes and he shared with me that he was experiencing a terrible time in his life. He had never been to St. Patrick’s, but something had told him to come here and pray. That same something (or perhaps I should say Someone) had told me to let him in. And this experience, this moment of communion, changed us both.

The Sulpician prayer begins with the words “O Jesus, living in Mary, come and live in your servants.” This reality is not merely for our own sake, but so that we might be transformed and be Christ to all whom we walk with on the journey of faith. This is the goal: to form priests who will seek all who are lost and hurting; bringing them closer to the Father who loves them and never leaves them to face this world alone.

by Rev. Mr. Chris Kanowitz


MAINRev. Gladstone H. Stevens, PSSPresident-Rector

Jesus, living in Mary,Come and live in your servants:

in the spirit of your holiness,in the fullness of your power,

in the perfection of your ways,in the truth of your virtues,

in the communion of your mysteries.Overcome every hostile power,

in your Spirit,for the glory of the Father.

Amen.

MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

The Sulpician Fathers have been engaged in the work of priestly formation in the United States for 225 years. This is an appropriate time to reflect upon our legacy and spiritual

heritage. As a means towards achieving this goal, we should begin by asking what is at the heart of the French School of Spirituality. The Sulpicians emerged from this tradition and it is from this approach to spiritual life that our distinctive way of priestly formation takes it direction. I would suggest that Adoration is at the center of the French School of Spirituality and its vision of the priesthood.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has argued that humanity begins when there are beings capable of worship, praise and adoration. God created the cosmos for no other reason than to communicate His love and glory and He seeks to bring forth creatures able to reflect these purposes with mind and freedom. This is the very meaning of humanity: the human person is that creature who can, through the exercise of intelligence and will, give proper praise to the Creator God. In other words, humans are never more complete than when they adore.

Sin, however, vitiates our ability to adore God. One consequence of our fallen condition is that we become self-adoring, thus impoverished as persons. When God is not given His love and praise, the basis for human dignity and ethical action is compromised. Thus if we are to be saved and our likeness to God healed, then we must be retrained in adoration.

Rev. Gladstone H. Stevens, PSS, received his PhD in Systematic Theology from Marquette University. He was ordained for the Archdiocese of Louisville in 2000 and has been with the Society of St. Sulpice since 2002. He taught Systematic Theology and Philosophy for six years and served as Vice Rector and France Merrick University Chair at St. Mary’s Seminary & University in Baltimore Maryland. He served as Vice Rector and Academic Dean, Dean of Men and now as the President-Rector of St. Patrick’s Seminary & University.


MAINThis summarizes the mission of Jesus in the works of the French School. God became a man and indeed became the perfect adorer of God. Pierre Cardinal de Berulle writes, “This adoration is new…it was unknown to earth and heaven in former times. For although heaven previously had adoring spirits and an adored God, it had not yet had an adoring God.” The teachers of the French School believe that Christ saves us precisely by bringing us into His act of adoration. His teachings, healings, death, Resurrection, and Ascension serve to break down those barriers which prevent us from giving glory to God. Once these obstacles to adoration are removed, then and only then can we cooperate with God in the work of establishing the new creation.

The founder of the Society of St. Sulpice, Fr. Jean Jacques Olier, believed that priests must continue Christ’s work of bringing a suffering humanity back into the state of adoration. To this end, he believed it was essential that the figure of Christ the Priest must be impressed upon the total being of the seminarian. Father Olier states, “Our Lord Jesus Christ came into this world to bring love and respect for His Father and to establish His reign and religion.” The priest candidate must therefore make Christ’s own love and respect for God the Father his own. In this way, the seminarian can live the life of Jesus. The path that Father Olier charts for the seminarian and the priest begins with adoration of Christ (Jesus before my eyes) which in turn leads to communion with Christ (Jesus and my heart). This culminates finally, in the ability to cooperate with Christ (Jesus in my hands).

What Father Olier and the first Sulpicians offer is a distinct approach to forming men into the priesthood of Our Lord. Deep and consistent adoration of Jesus is how His virtues are communicated to a person and therefore the condition of possibility to act and speak in His name. Only a man habituated to adoration can be a teacher and guide of adoration within a community of faith.

Perhaps now more so than ever, we should come to an appreciation of how crucial authentic adoration is for humanity. When our minds and hearts are not directed towards God in love and adoration, then what emerges is a culture of narcissism and entitlement. In such a climate, justice cannot flourish, nor does the work of mercy thrive. Let us all join together in not only remembering the Sulpician heritage but to commit ourselves to fostering its spirit and best ideals.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

by Mr. Marc Colelli

As the disciples walked the journey with our Savior, so too our seminarians walk a journey. First in 2009 and then again in 2015 our seminarians expressed a desire

to have the opportunity to pray the Stations of the Cross in the context of a real journey, within the beautiful grounds of our seminary campus. Led by Pastoral Year seminarian, Ernie Jandonero from the Archdiocese of San Francisco, a small group gathered to discuss and plan.

We took to the paths of our wooded area around our historic buildings, letting nature dictate and call upon the placement of these new Stations. Marked by stone & water, one will journey into the beautiful foliage on a dedicated path. The statues of the Stations of the Cross will be cast in solid resin, with an antique stone finish, and feature finer detail and durability. Each statue will rest upon a pedestal, and across will be a bench for one to sit, pray and reflect.

While journeying the road that recounts the life of Jesus, one will come upon a large plaza. The focal point of the plaza will be the twelfth station – The

Crucifixion. Across from the crucifixion will be an altar for outdoor liturgies, directly linking the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf with the celebration of the Eucharist.Our goal is to create a destination, for not only our seminarians, but for the faithful that they will someday serve. It will be a place of journey, a place of prayer, a place of solitude, and a place to experience our God within the very gift of nature.

At our 2015 Gala, we announced our plans, and asked for “seed” money to begin the planning process. The gathering that evening contributed $27,864.00 towards planning and starting the project.

We announced plans to begin offering naming rights to elements within the project at our 2016 Gala and an additional $38,600 was raised.

We now turn to all our constituents and friends with the opportunity to name an element within this wonderful project. Naming opportunities are listed below. You can be part of this very sacred and special place. For more information, please contact Leelamma Sebastian: [email protected] or 650-289 3320

Naming opportunities to support this sacred project by honoring or remembering a loved one:

Outdoor Plaza & Altar $100,000Entire Pathway of the Stations $60,000Each Station & pedestal $10,000Water element $5,000Bench (for each station and in plaza) $1,000

PRAISE NIGHT

The seminary hosted its first Praise Night of the school year on October 8. The evening event gathered about sixty people of all ages, both from within the seminary and

around the Bay Area. The lights of the seminary’s Main Chapel were dimmed in a meditative setting to make the worship space conducive for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament through Praise and Worship music. A group of six seminarians led the music for the program.

The night gave different opportunities to encounter the Lord. The main way the event allowed an encounter with the Lord was through Eucharistic adoration. Two priests were available to hear individual confessions during the night. This gave the opportunity for attendees to approach the Sacrament of Penance to encounter God’s mercy and compassion. The night concluded with the communal

praying of Compline, commonly known as Night Prayer. After Night Prayer, a deacon with the Blessed Sacrament gave a benediction. Encounter with the Lord continued into the seminary’s front lobby with fellowship sponsored by the praise team.

This event was launched five years ago after a casual conversation between two seminarians who envisioned a need for more Young Adult Ministry as part of the pastoral experience. It became a reality when the seminary hosted the first Praise Night in 2012. Several attendees have become regulars at the event and continue to invite others to experience a different style of adoring the Lord. Rev. Mr. Tim Donovan, a transitional deacon for the Diocese of Orange and organizer of this event, said Praise Night is an avenue “to praise the Lord and invite others to encounter Him through song, confession, and adoration. ” Although Praise Night is no longer just a young adult event, it remains an opportunity for encountering the Holy Spirit in our lives.

LIBRARY UPDATE

Fact: Librarians are terrible at Jeopardy! My wife and I watch the game show every night, and when the contestants are announced, if I hear “librarian” in their job description, I tell

her they’re doomed. Now before you think I’m going to pour out a Socratic-grade “least knowledgeable man at the seminary” lament, let me explain. First of all, some of the smartest people I know are librarians, and in fact, some actually win the game. After all, we do need to think broadly and quickly, both essential skills for trivia and buzzer timing. You need more than a profound love of books to do this job. On the other hand, smart as we are, we are not know-it-alls. I have but one advanced degree, and that is the Master of Library and Information Science. In spite of what some TV shows make of the profession, I have yet to go on an archaeological adventure. But I do search for and find things, typically with little to no danger to my person, and sometimes it can be just as exhilarating.

The key to a successful library is to have a large collection of resources and the tools to find specific items within that collection, the proverbial needle in the haystack. I have never had to worry about the former, although we have been changing the nature of these resources to include more databases and other valuable electronic-based sources of information. The latter, however, has been an ongoing challenge. Once, our card catalog was the gateway to the collection,

and although you can still witness (and use!) the card catalog in all its glory, those days are behind us. The new gateway is through our website, and thanks to recent developments, you can find almost anything, print or electronic, book or journal article, through this portal.

A big part of what made our website so useful and, frankly, attractive, was the hard work of our Public Services Librarian, Gabriel Ortiz. Of course, the challenge of having somebody who is exceptional at what they do, is that everybody wants that person for their team. While this has benefited the entire seminary, as Gabriel gave his talents not just to the library website, but the entire institution, inevitably others would entice him away to new adventures. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we send Gabriel off to his new assignment in southern California, where he will develop the library website of the Claremont Colleges. Let us be mindful however, that what may be a loss for St. Patrick’s is a huge step forward in Gabriel’s career, so we wish him all the best.

However, when God closes a door, inevitably a window opens. I am pleased to welcome our new Library Technical Assistant, Matthew Horwitz, to the team. He brings a strong theology and philosophy educational background to the job, along with a critical attention to detail, vitally needed as we continue to enhance our collection and the tools that make it useful to the community.

The annual Community Day festivities were underway on a cool sunny Friday morning at the seminary. Both seminarians and faculty members gathered at the Cur House for the

“Blessing of Athletes” given by President-Rector and Sulpician Father Gladstone Stevens. Teams this year were divided by class level with the exception of the smaller classes that combined forces. All the teams competed against each other for the bragging rights for the title of Community Day Champions and the generous seminary-paid class outing/dinner.

This day of no classes and study was designed to increase the fraternal bond amongst the seminarians and wider seminary community. The planning team scheduled a full day of activities that included capture the flag, minute to win it games, seminary jeopardy, and seminary-adapted water polo. The day ended after communal evening prayer and a BBQ at the Cur House. The title of Community Day Champions for the school year 2016 went to Theology III, who immediately displayed pride in their victory.

Before entering seminary, I was Director of Religious Education at St. Anselm parish in Marin. I also spent a significant time prior to that in academics, in the fields of philosophy and theology.

- Seminarian Nick Case

I was a student before I entered seminary. I felt the love of God and I strongly believe that He is calling me to become His priest.

- Seminarian Huong Dinh

Prior to entering the seminary I was a nurse working on a medical/oncology unit at a hospital. Through a desire to help and serve others, God has led me to the seminary.

- Seminarian Andrew Kelly

After graduating from Thomas Aquinas College in 2011, I went back to working in the family construction business during the week, and on the weekends helping out in my parish: teaching children’s faith formation, ushering, coordinating the altar servers, and other small things.

- Seminarian Gerardo Vazquez

Before entering seminary, I was finishing my M.A. in philosophy, and working part time at Hennessy Funeral Home in Spokane, WA. What led me to enter the seminary was to discern further of how I can be an agent of God’s mercy, specifically through the vocation of the Catholic priesthood.

- Seminarian Chase Willcuts

The Annual “Seminarians Today – Priests Tomorrow” event is organized by the Vietnamese Catholic Community and has helped raise substantial funds for the upgrading of computer systems, installing smartboards in classrooms, replacing beds and mattresses for our seminarians, and for the general fund.

Yes, it was a simple invitation to the Vietnamese Catholics to become collaborators in our Sulpician ministry of forming future priests for the Roman Catholic Church. The Vietnamese Catholic Community has responded enthusiastically to this invitation with prayers and financial contributions.

FEAST OF SAN LORENZO DE MANILA

The Filipino Seminarians of St. Patrick’s organized the celebration of the Feast of San Lorenzo on September 28th. It started with the procession of the image of San Lorenzo Ruiz in front of the seminary. St. Patrick’s alumnus Rev. Raj Derivera (Class of 2016) presided at the Mass that followed. Rev. Arnold Parungao (Class of 2013) delivered the homily, which emphasized San Lorenzo Ruiz and his companions’ zealous faith amidst persecution and death. Both priests are from the Diocese of Sacramento.

After Mass, everyone, including the invited guests from different dioceses, proceeded to Riordan hall for a festival of Filipino culture and cuisine. The Filipino seminarians prepared a skit depicting the life of San Lorenzo, the Tinikling (a traditional cultural dance), and a Filipino Marian song. Seminarian Francis Kalaw, the President of the Filipino community, concluded the event by expressing his gratitude to the staff, seminarians, and guests who graced the celebration.

The seminary community is grateful for the ongoing support that we receive from the Vietnamese Catholics – both from the organizers and the benefactors. Their commitment to the formation of future priests has given us the reason to believe: “The whole Church through prayer, active cooperation, and the witness of living full Christian lives takes responsibility for vocations.” (Pastores dabo vobis, no. 41). The forming of future priests is everyone’s responsibility.

Here is the invitation: The Eighth Annual “Seminarians Today – Priests Tomorrow” event will be held on Saturday, May 6, 2017. Will you say YES?

IT BEGINS WITH AN INVITATION...

IN MEMORIAM

Quite unexpectedly and suddenly, Jim Murphy died on September 15, 2016. As one of the remaining founders of the St. Joseph’s-St. Patrick’s College Alumni Association (the other survivor is my classmate the Rev. Jerry Brown, PSS), I want to speak for all the alumni bishops,

priests and laymen to express our gratitude for Jim.

Our gratitude derives from the seventeen years during which Jim acted as the executive director of the Association. The Association binds together in continuing friendship all of us who once shared the seminary experience and whose lives have gone in a marvelous multiplicity of ways. Jim was the glue that bound it all together for those seventeen years.

James P. Murphy, a.k.a. “Jim,” “Murph,” “PeeWee”, entered St. Joseph’s College in 1958 out of grade school and some eleven years later left St. Patrick’s Seminary. He married into the Clan Purcell. Jim is survived by his wife, Mary, son James (Caity) and daughters Mary Elizabeth, Jennifer and Barbara, grandson Cooper Murphy, sister Sr. Judy Murphy, CSJ, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and his many close former seminary buddies. Jim was a practicing attorney and a frequent sponsor of A.A.

The suddenness of Jim’s death deprives us all of a chance to say thank you – something we had planned on doing on this next Alumni Day. We will still do so on April 29, 2017.

Jim’s life was one well lived, with courage and love. He lived a significant part of it for you and me. We are grateful to you, Jim, and we hold in prayer, you, your wife, family and friends.

Mr. James P. MurphyThe son of George Boyle and Mary Ellen Clark Boyle, Eugene Boyle was born in San Francisco. He attended St. John’s school in San Francisco, St. Joseph’s college seminary in Mountain View and Sat. Patrick’s seminary in Menlo Park, and was ordained by Archbishop Mitty on June 15, 1946.

After ordination, Father Boyle served in parishes in San Francisco and Livermore, eventually becoming Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in San Francisco. From 1956 until 1960, he was a member of the Archdiocesan Mission Band and then Director of Vallombrosa Retreat House in Menlo Park. He later worked for the National Federation of Priests’ Councils and the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, and was Director of Stanford Newman Center and Saint Ann Chapel in Palo Alto.

In 2000, Pope Saint John Paul II named Father Boyle as a Prelate of Honor with the honorary title of Monsignor. Throughout his long ministry, Monsignor Boyle had a passion for work in social justice, collaborating with Cesar Chavez in his groundbreaking efforts with the United Farm Workers. Msgr. Boyle died in Palo Alto on May 24, 2016.

Rev. Msgr. Eugene James Boyle

Teresa School. He graduated from St. Joseph College and then St. Patrick’s. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 18, 1948 by Archbishop John J. Mitty. He served at St. Louis Bertrand Church in Oakland, St. Stanislaus Church in Modesto, St. Nicholas Church in Los Altos, St. Thomas More Church in San Francisco and St. Martin Church in Sunnyvale. During many of his active years, Father also served as Chaplain and Confessor throughout the Archdiocese. In 1972, he was assigned to Our Lady of the Wayside Church in Portola Valley, where he served as pastor for the next 33 years. In 2006, he retired to Pine Grove.

Fr. George is survived by his sisters Anna Marie and Josephine, and by his brother Al, as well other extended family. His nephew, Fr. Gary R. Thomas, class of 1983, is the pastor of Sacred Heart parish, Saratoga, CA.

Rev. George Louis ThomasThe son of John J. and Margaret Rose [Flaherty] Murray, Frank was born in San Francisco on August 5, 1928. One of eight children, he was baptized at Saint Paul Church and attended Saint James School under the direction of the Dominican Sisters of the Congregation of the Holy

Rosary for his first three years, and the Brothers of Mary for the remaining five years.

In September 1942, he began his preparatory studies for the priesthood at Saint Joseph’s College in Mountain View. He entered Saint Patrick Seminary in September, 1947. Fr. Murray was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop John J. Mitty on January 24, 1953 at Saint Mary’s Cathedral, and celebrated his First Solemn Mass at Saint Brendan Church.
