Bishop Murphy in this address to the National Catholic Education Association in Chicago, IL offers insightful observations on the responsibilities of the local church and the seminary in the formation of candidates for priesthood. He, as the current Bishop of Great Falls-Billings, MT and former Rector/President of St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, is uniquely qualified to lend his experience and expertise to this topic. In his view, “There is a need for the preparation of candidates for priesthood to be a corporate enterprise of both the seminary and the local Church. Such an enterprise will occur as a result of trust, discussion, understanding and dialogue.”
