Please note that the upcoming 28th Annual Golf Tournament – “Fran and Stephen Rowen Memorial” – has been postponed due to precautions taken with the COVID-19 pandemic. We are working on a possible re-scheduling of the date to a time when it is deemed safe.  Please stay safe and healthy.  We look forward to the time when we can see you again on the links! 

Before the global pandemic COVID-19 altered our world as we know it, the community at Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary, like many communities, was working hard and was focused on serving others.  Below is an interview by seminarian Dan McHale ’21, from the Diocese of Albany, with fellow third-theologian, Mark Harris of the Diocese of Venice, about Mark’s witness to life in January.   

There was a ray of light and hope at Pope Saint John XXIII Seminary amidst the darkness and confusion that has been surrounding the world lately. On the evening of March 24, in conjunction with sung Evening Prayer, nine men who have dedicated themselves to three years of seminary formation, made the Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity. These men come from nine different Arch/dioceses and will be ordained transitional deacons in the months to come. After one more year of seminary formation, they will be ordained to the priesthood.
