"Theological education, spiritual formation and pastoral application assure full, conscious, active and effective participation in the Church's life and mission - dynamic participation which is faithful to Catholic Tradition and creatively responsive to the challenges the Church faces today."
            - Douglas Bushman, S.T.L.
