Summer/Fall 2021 3 Class Notes

Fr. Innocent Smith, O.P. was born in California and raised in Indiana in a Catholic family; he is the fifth of six chil-dren. He discerned a vocation to the Dominicans while studying music and philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, and joined the St. Joseph Province of the Order of Preachers in

2008. After the novitiate in Cincinnati and philosophy and theology studies at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., Fr. Innocent was ordained to the priesthood in 2015 by Archbishop Charles Brown.

From 2015 to 2018, Fr. Innocent served as parochial vicar at the Parish of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York City, where he was in charge of adult formation and RCIA, and assisted with the renewal of the music program at the parish. From 2018 to 2021, Fr. Innocent was assigned to the Priory of St. Kajetan in Munich, Germany, while he wrote a doctoral dis-sertation in liturgical studies at the University of Regensburg. Fr. Innocent joined the faculty of St. Mary’s Seminary & University in July 2021 as Assistant Professor of Homiletics, and resides at the nearby Dominican communi-ty of Sts. Philip and James in Baltimore.

Dr. James Starke joined the St. Mary’s faculty in 2021. He is a liturgical scholar with experience in graduate education, academic research, and diocesan min-istry. After earning a doctorate in Liturgical Studies and Sacramental Theology from The Catholic University of America (CUA), he served as

Director of the Office of Divine Worship of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington and as an instructor for seminarian courses at CUA. Since 2020, he has served on the national board of the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions.

Dr. Starke’s professional interests include methodology for liturgical theology, liturgical tradition, liturgy and spirituali-ty, and religion and science. In the classroom he seeks to connect research in these areas with the pastoral and spiri-tual needs of today, especially as discerned from his experi-ence preparing diocesan and parochial liturgies, ministering as an episcopal master of ceremonies, forming lay and ordained ministers, and serving on diocesan liturgical and arts commissions.

Dr. Starke and his family live in Arlington, VA. They enjoy spending time in nature parks, visiting museums, and playing various sports. Dr. Starke also enjoys reading non-fiction books on science, history, and art.

FATHER JOHN SULLIVAN, SULPICIAN OF HAPPY MEMORY A REMEMBRANCE BY FR. BERNARD SURVIL

How all of us seminary-theologians managed to get in that basement lecture room at “The Park” sometime in the mid 1960’s I don’t recall. My own class started First Theology with 145 coming from 51 dioceses. We ordained 109 as deacons, overflowing into the Atrium as we lay prone during the ordination liturgy.

Fr. John Sullivan, P.S.S., our rector at that time, was the same rector who maned the “culpa line” after evening prayer. He gave a very moving report on his attending a talk by Rev Martin Luther King, Jr. Although I was following current events at the time, hearing Fr. Sullivan (“Iron John”) relate his impressions, left me with a strong memory. Then after I was ordained in 1967 I found myself in an Italian parish which did not take kindly to my homily at the time of King’s assassination. By that time most of the parishioners had “moved up the hill” and away from the church built by their immigrant par-ents or grandparents. By then much of that neighborhood was occupied by African-Americans who arrived during the “Great Migration.” None was Catholic; they had their own “temples.”

The first summer I was at the parish I helped with the town’s summer camp sponsored by an ecumenical collection of churches. Our parish never spon-sored, but I helped out because I was a Red Cross certified waterfront director. (I also taught swimming to fellow sems at the Loyola College pool during those seminary years.)

Naively, I related in another homily how I was helping an African-American kid learn how to swim when another kid came up telling me “I know how to swim, mister. I’ll teach your son how to swim.” The rest of that Mass was without music because the organist walked out, weeping as she went. Another man told me at the end of Mass, he was about to join her by walking out. Did they believe it was “my son?”

I share this with you and the rest of the faculty/administration at “The Park” (St. Marys Seminary, Baltimore) in 2021 because although now retired, I find inexcusable the indifference of the clergy and laity of my Diocese toward the effects of racism on the stances of the elected officials representing the dis-tricts within the Diocese. I explain it in the enclosed flyer which I sent to the bishop, all priests and deacons without getting any acknowledgement. My consolation comes from my membership in the Association of US Catholic Priests (www.auscp.org) which I recommend to you of the current faculty and the current crop of students at SMS.

FRIENDS

9 John Kenneth Jarboe, father of Msgr. Bruce Jarboe, Trustee and Alumnus (St. Mary’s Class of 1985) passed away on July 11th, 2021. Mr. Jarboe, 91, was the beloved husband of the late Alice Jarboe, and in addition to Msgr. Jarboe, was the loving father of J. Brian Jarboe and his wife Donna, Joseph D. Jarboe and his wife Francine and the grandfather of three.

9 Kathryn Kelley Hoskins, died after a long battle with cancer on July 10th, 2021. Kathy, a partner with Gallagher, Evelius & Jones, was with the firm since 1985. An expert in higher edu-cation and employment law, Kathy worked with St. Mary’s Seminary as a trusted advisor for three decades. In 1987 Kathy helped form the Institute for Christian and Jewish Studies (ICJS), now the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies. She remained close to the organization chairing its Board of Trustees twice. Kathy is survived by her mother, hus-band and daughter. Msgr. Richard

Bozzelli, St. Mary’s Trustee and Alumnus (St. Mary’s class of 1985) and a long-time friend of Kathy’s presided at the funeral which was held at Corpus Christi Church in Baltimore. Fr. Robert Leavitt, P.S.S., former President Rector and also a founding board member of ICJS remarked, From the beginning and through the years, Kathy Hoskins provided expert legal serv-ices for us at ICJS. She was charming and intelligent. I was personally happy and proud that our Church's commitment to Christian-Jewish Relations had Kathy Hoskins to represent it. When she became the board chair at ICJS, it felt to me as if both the hopes of Vatican II for new rela-tions between Christians and Jews as well as the presence of women in church lead-ership were coming together. Kathy's untimely death is a deep loss to ICJS and to our local church. St. Mary's Seminary & University mourns her passing and thanks God for the example of her life.
