“Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is not merely a place but a set of relationships meant to elicit the deep richness of the Church’s resources for healing the wounds of isolation.”

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” – Matthew 28:19
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary opened the 2024-2025 year of formation with a two-day symposium on evangelization and pastoral accompaniment. Presenters from around the country shared their wisdom and expertise with the seminarians. The call to respond to the missionary mandate of the Church was contextualized for us within the content of priestly formation.
Our presenters included:

Dr. Mary Healy, Professor of Sacred Scripture at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit and bestselling author and international speaker.
Dr. Healy presented on The Holy Spirit and Evangelization

Julianne Stanz, Director of Evangelization and Discipleship in the Diocese of Green Bay.
Julianne shared with us the importance of proclaiming the core message of Christ, repent and believe in the Gospel.

Jim Jansen, Director of the Parish Support Team for the Archdiocese of Omaha.
Jim’s focus helped the seminarians concretize evangelization within the mission of the parish.

Also presenting and moderating many of the sessions and small groups was Jen Ryan, Director of Pastoral Education here at Kenrick. Jen also spearheaded the development of all the parish case studies used during the symposium.

KGD
Every Summer, the men of Cardinal Glennon College Seminary lead two, week-long camps for boys in elementary school and middle school. Kenrick-Glennon Days (KGD) is a time of fun and fellowship that allows young men to explore their faith amidst friends! A key attribute that helps in these weeks’ success are the high school “Junior Counselors” or JCs. They follow the lead of the collegians in bringing about an atmosphere of prayer, discernment, and joy.
