Its. ‘the environment in which the aforementioned dimensions come together and interact. and where they attain to mutual harmony and integration. Certain formative instruments should be adopted for communtty formation and for a better knowledge of individual seminarians such as sincere and open communication, exchange, review of life, Fraternal correction, ‘andcommunity programs. “The community forms the seedbed of priestly vocation since semninorian emerges from it,in order to be sent back +o serve it after ordination. The seminarian to begin with, andilater the priest, musthave livingbond with the community. It is the thread that binds together and harmonizes the four dimensions of formation. The Christian community is brought together by the Spit in order to be sent out on mission. Thus the missionary impulse endits concrete manifestation belong to the entire People of God, which must always be “going forth’, since “the Gospel oy which enlvens the community of disciples s a missionary joy” This missionary drive concerns those called to the ministerial priesthood evenmore particularly, as itis the goaland the horizon of all formation. Missionis another thread that binds, animates and gives life to the dimensions already mentioned. Tt allows the priest, who has been formed humanly, intelectual, spiritually and pastoral, to live his ministry fuly since he is “caled fo have a missionary spit, that isto say a ‘ruly Catholic’ sprit. which, beginning from Christ, reaches out to allso that they maybe saved andreach fullknowledge of the truth’ Fear ews STELLA Maristiswithgreat Joy that congratulate theformators, seminarians faculty, staff, parents, benefactors cand ouxilaries of the Sacred Heart Seminary for another fruitful and meaningful Academic Yeor 2017-2018.

It isin this spirit that the theme for this academic year receive its inspiration, “Ut Unurn Sin” (John 17.21). This prayer of Jesus, ‘that all may be one" John 1721) is the point of your reflections and your guide for this year. Indeed, being one with God and with the community Is a lving reflection of the Trinitarian communion here in the seminary. In fact, the seminary is not just a. school of formation but a farrily. The New Ratio Fundamentals reminds us that the “Seminary community is indeed a family, marked by an atmosphere that favors friendship and fraternity (no.52)" Itis my prayer that as yournove forward in your formative years the seminarians, the future priest of Christ. willbe able to acquire in their life the Heart of Christ who welcomes everyone with ove andunderstanding, ‘Congratulations and Jesus, Mary and Joseph continue to bless all of you!
