Paris, October 9. Fr. Donald Harrington CM, President of St. John’s University, presented an overview of the collaboration between St. John’s University and the Paris Province of the Congregation of the Mission.
Summing up his presentation to some 40 members of the Congregation gathered at the “Maison Mere” he stated
You are our colleagues in educating these young people. They will see your example. They will study in an environment in which Vincentian values and symbols prevailo. They will pray in your Church in the shadow of St. Vincent.
“Discover the World: Europe” features an innovative, modular class format that splits your 15-week semester into three, five-week sessions with one or two courses in each city.
Students can choose to spend a semester in three of the following cities at locations steeped in Vincentian history:
- Dublin, Ireland
- Paris, France
- Rome, Italy
- Salamanca, Spain

A timely post — The clergy of the Diocese of Trenton NJ will have a day of recollection at St. Joseph’s Seminary on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008 which will focus on the Year of Paul.
Pope Benedict’s statement will be helpful together with Pat Griffin’s ongoing ed piece at the Superiors’ meeting last Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Thanks to famvin.org for the heads up.
