ABOUT THE JOSEPHINUM

The Pontifical College Josephinum was granted "pontifical status" in 1892 by Pope Leo XIII recognizing her unique mission of forming priests for the Church Universal. With each generation there arises new challenges and opportunities for the Church to preach the Gospel of Christ. Today, the Josephinum sees her mission as preparing men for the priesthood according to the mind of the Church as articulated by the Holy Father who himself draws upon the great Deposit of Faith. Preparing Renaissance Priests: Spiritual Fathers for the New Evangelization summarizes the Rector's understanding of the Josephinum's mission as a pontifical institute. The four pillars of priestly formation and the three priestly promises are integrated throughout the entire formation program considering the thought of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. Upon their ordination to the priesthood, graduates of the Josephinum will be prepared to carry out the Church's new evangelization as priests who can be engaged in culture as renaissance men who draw from culture all that is consistent with the Gospel while transforming with the Gospel all that needs purified. The spiritual fatherhood of priesthood is the identity, life and mission of diocesan priests who shepherd their people after that of the Good Shepherd. This is what makes the Pontifical College Josephinum unique as a Roman Seminary in the United States.
