It is with mixed feel-ings that I write this

ninth and last letter asPresident-Rector forAlumni News. Afterclose to a decade asRector I have grown inmy understanding of theimportance of priestlyformation in the life ofthe Church and the rolethat St. Mary’s Seminary& University plays in

this holy mission. In addition, my own conviction of the importance of the alumni’sinvolvement in the core mission of the seminary has deepened in my own mind andheart.

At graduation this year the seminary honored Edwin Cardinal O’Brien, who servedtwenty years in seminary administration, by awarding him an honorary doctorate.His commencement address emphasized the critical nature of the work of theSulpicians in the ministry of priestly formation as well as in continuing formation ofclergy: “I think you can appreciate my saying that this is a kind of homecoming forme. . . From the start I was impressed by the Sulpician spirit of this institution – ahighly motivated student body, a distinguished and committed faculty and staff, andquite especially, a most effective and generous Board of Trustees.”

As I conclude my time as President-Rector let me echo the Cardinal’s view of the St.Mary’s community. I move into the next stage of my priestly life and ministry with athankful and joyful heart for God’s goodness to me through the seminarians, faculty,staff, board and the alumni of this, my alma mater.
