Catholic Studies and Saint John Vianney College Seminary (SJV)
Vice President for Advancement and Legal at Saint Paul’s Outreach, he says, “So far, that has proven true on every level.” The rich harvest of the partnership between Catholic Studies and SJV keeps multiplying. Fr. Jones recalls one second-year seminarian who took “seemingly every chance he could” to bring up something from SJV Alumnus Fr. Austin Litke ‘04, OP’s “Catholic Vision” class. “It was such a grace as a formator to see a seminarian so moved by something he was learning intellectually that it was completely transforming his prayer, his conversation, and his daily life.” That is the fruit of seminarians’ integration with Catholic Studies. As Fr. Olofson sums it up: “They begin to see how an authentic Catholic worldview can shape how they see the world, engage the culture, foster holy friendships, and work to build up the Kingdom of God.”
