On Thursday, May 15, the St. Mary’s Seminary & University community gatheredfor graduation to mark the achievements of twenty-one seminarians and twen-

ty-two E.I. students. It was a celebratory evening with diplomas handed to each grad-uate by the Chancellor, Archbishop William E. Lori. Honorary doctorates weregiven to two leaders of faith communities. We honored Bishop Donald Trautman,the bishop emeritus of the Diocese of Erie who had been a long time Board memberand a shepherd of the flock in Erie for more than twenty years, and Rabbi Joel Zaimanwho was Senior Rabbi of Chizuk Amuno in Baltimore for 23 years. A simulating andinspiring graduation address was delivered by Dr. Christopher Leighton, theExecutive Director of the Institute for Jewish and Christian Studies.

While that May evening marked the completion of an academic program, it also ini-tiated a commencement, especially for the 12 deacons who were leaving the next dayto prepare for ordination in their respective dioceses. This commencement, thismovement to ordination as priests after the heart of Christ, the Good Shepherd is thecenter of what St. Mary’s has always been about. New assignments for the recentgraduates are listed in this issue of Class Notes. They have begun their ministry ofWord, Sacrament, and Shepherding. They have joined their thousands of priestbrothers who are alumni. Our prayers go with them in a special way in these earlymonths of priestly ministry as our prayers go with all of our alumni in their lives asdisciples and priests. Ad multos annos!

fully interwoven, are the driving force of our lives. Under the inspiration of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict weadvanced toward full communion with God inconcrete communion with one another. Our joyfulexperience has now been confirmed and validatedby Lumen Fidei, the first encyclical of Pope Francis.This marvelous document will serve as the basis forour retreat.
