This August, Assumption Seminary inaugurates a new year of formation of men for priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church. I am excited about this great year, and I am honored to serve as the Rector beginning this fall semester. I had never dreamed of being in this position, but it will be a privilege to care for this fine institution and its community.
Assumption has a fine formation faculty, and we are happy to serve San Antonio and several other dioceses that have chosen us over the years for the religious and cultural experience we offer here. This year we have nearly ninety men in different programs ranging from college philosophy to graduate theology.
This month of August, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we ask Our Lady to pray that every man who has answered the call to be in seminary to grow in image of her Son, Christ the Good Shepherd.

Assumption Seminary, a blessing to the Church!

Assumption Seminary is indeed a blessing to the people of the Archdiocese of San Antonio and to those called to the priesthood from throughout the United States and many parts of the world. All who have come before me, archbishops, seminary administration, faculty, staff, and most importantly seminarians have built an inspired foundation for the preparation of men to serve the people of God. Assumption Seminary has established itself in an international leadership role in the formation of future priests who are called to minister in the multicultural reality that requires a special understanding and respect for the diversity that will continue to be the Church of the future.
