Catholic Studies is

dedicated to fostering

a dialogue between the Catholic intellectual

tradition and all areas of study and contem-

porary culture. Focusing on the central role

of the faculty, the Center regularly sponsors

faculty development programs, including

seminars, workshops and retreats. It also

sponsors an undergraduate degree program

statement

To our dear friends,The Christmas season suggests the image of God slipping into our world unobtru-

sively – in poverty, without fanfare – in a way you would least expect. The childborn of Mary and protected by Joseph testies to our great dignity as human beings,

our openness to God. The Center for Catholic Studies encourages that opennesshere at Seton Hall. Among our faculty, students, staff and administrators, we seek to encourage that search for all that is good.

And we seek to do this reasonably. In my dealings with older graduates of Seton

Hall University and other Catholic universities as well, many will say to me, “Youknow, what I really appreciated about my time at Seton Hall was the philosophy…Even though we had to take so many credits of logic and metaphysics, what I really

appreciated was the order and rigor behind those studies. They indicated that therewas a basic structure to things.”

One of the aims of Catholic Studies is to introduce some of that structure into thestudies of our students. My professor in Rome, Fr. Bernard Lonergan, taught me

the value of exigent thinking – “critical thinking about critical thinking” – and I am

convinced that such can be of value to our students today in bringing them fromimmediate concerns to an overarching wisdom: a wisdom that includes opennessto God. As we approach the Christmas season in which Christians believe Godentered our world, we strive to remain open to the Lord’s presence today in so

many hidden ways.

We are very grateful for the many ways you have supported us in the past. To use

the title of the rst year Core course which all our freshmen take, you have joined

us in our “Journey of Transformation.”

May your lives also be transformed as we journey on together…

Joseph Nicholas Pastino, asenior Catholic Studies major,

has something special to of-fer the world that awaits him.

In an interview with GloriaGarafulich-Grabois, Assistant

Director of the ChestertonInstitute, Joe says, “I’ve beeninterested in religious studies

and social justice since fresh-man year when I met Msgr.

Liddy. I chose Catholic Studiesas my major and International

Diplomacy as my minor. My

courses convinced me of theimportance of Catholic Studies

in the life of the university.”

Joe has given much to Seton Hall: heis President of the Student AlumniAssociation and has worked for the

university’s Housing and Residence LifeDepartment as both a Conference and

Residence Assistant. As part of the

university’s Division of Volunteer Efforts(DOVE), Joe has served as a member of

the Hunger and Homelessness AwarenessCommittee, traveled to El Salvador towork in a nursing home, and participated

in Service on Saturdays (S.O.S.), paintinghomes, cleaning parks, and packing food at

a food bank. Joe is also a memberof the Theta Alpha Kappa Honor

Society for Religious Studiesand Theology students and the

CAST student coordinator.

When asked about his most

memorable experiences withSeton Hall and Catholic Studies

Joe stated, “I would have to saymy trip to Oxford this summerWe traveled to England to study

the foundations of Christianfaith and culture in England. It

was a tremendous experience

understanding how faith playeda role in the culture of a country

It’s important for students to see how it

plays a role in their lives as well.”

Joe’s future plans include graduate studies and work in a non-prot organization

working for social justice, as a servantleader. We wish him well!

This past summer, I had the incredible op-portunity to join the Center for Catholic

Studies and the G.K. Chesterton Institutefor Faith & Culture on a study abroad trip

to Oxford University where we studiedand discussed literature, history, and

philosophy with some of the best profes-sors at Seton Hall. We visited museums,churches, colleges and palaces, learning

the rich history of England.Oxford commands great respect and awe.

The centuries-old churches and collegeshold a quiet beauty. Within the walls and

the bustling streets is the history of thosewho came before. Oxford is the place

of great believers and thinkers like C. S.Lewis, J. R . R. Tolkien, and Blessed Cardi-

nal Newman.

Prof. Dermot Quinn gave us guided tours

of Oxford’s many churches and colleges.We climbed the bell tower of St. Mary

the Virgin Church and saw the panoramicview of Oxford and the breathtaking

view of dozens of historic colleges. Wewere fortunate to visit London, and also

Littlemore, retreat of Blessed CardinalNewman, to celebrate liturgy with Msgr.Liddy and Fr. Ian Boyd. We also visited

many other sites including the home oG. K. Chesterton and Blenheim Palace.

My time in England was more than aclass or a trip. It gave me the chance to

experience history and literature. I learnedin a way I never could have learned in a

classroom. It is a trip I will never forget!

Seton Hall’s Signature Courses, Journey

of Transformation, Christianity and Culture

in Dialogue, and Engaging the World, focus

on “the Catholic intellectual tradition.”Last June, Msgr. Richard Liddy led a lucky

group of faculty to Rome. This second fac-ulty retreat in Rome was sponsored by the

Center for Catholic Studies with the LayCenter at Foyer Unitas, a Catholic educa-tional institution based in Rome providing

community and formation for lay studentsfrom all over the world.

Our journey began in Rome’s ancientForum with Liz Lev, art historian, as our

guide. We walked from the Forum, whereSts. Peter and Paul were held prisoner,

through the Arch of Titus, depicting theRoman conquest of Jerusalem, to Rome’sColiseum. Popes come here to make the

Stations of the Cross in veneration of earlyChristian martyrs. Liz Lev helped us hear

these stones speaking to us of Rome’s jour-ney of transformation and of Christianity

and culture in dialogue.

The most memo-

rable events wereour visits with

members of reli-gious communities.

We all shared theEucharist whereSt. Ignatius lived.

We travelled tothe countryside to

St. Benedict’s cavewhere an English

Abbot explained theenduring wisdom inhis Rule, said Mass,

and hosted us for

lunch. We climbedthe Aventine Hill tothe Dominican church of Santa Sabina, and

walked the footsteps of Saint Dominic andSaint Catherine of Sienna. Like eager tour-

ists, at the door of the Knights of Malta, wepeered through the keyhole to see SaintPeter’s in the distance.

We visited the Vatican and learned aboutthe Beatications of Cardinal Newman and

Pope John Paul II. We ventured outsideRome’s ancient walls to venerate the

tomb of Saint Paul in a church rst built

by Constantine, and met the Franciscan

friars who are its stewards. We sat withtwo Little Sisters of Jesus. Their happinessin sharing the life of the poor is unimagi-

nable without witnessing their passionatecontentment. These religious communities

are an important aspect of Christianity and

Culture in Dialogue. We returned home bet-

ter informed in mind, heart and spirit.

from The Setonian

This past August, I was privileged to travelwith Catholic Studies to Spain. The trip wasunlike anything I ever experienced… We

studied at the University of Navarra, “TheHarvard of Spain,” and traveled with amaz-

ing chaperones – Father Stanley Gomes,Director, SHU Campus Ministry, Gloria

Garafulich-Grabois of the ChestertonInstitute and Danute Nourse of CatholicStudies, to northern and southern Spain.

I had no idea of the history of Spain,the cathedrals, the homes of saints, the

royal palaces. We walked daily to theuniversity on the Camino de Santiago,

part of the pilgrimage of Saint James. Weheard lectures from great professors on

Spanish culture, present andpast, and how Christianity, Juda-ism, and Islam shaped the life of

the country and its people. Later,staying at San Lorenzo del Esco-

rial in Madrid, I was touched in adeeply spiritual way. Being a part

of World Youth Day and being inthe presence of Pope BenedictXVI, affected me in a way I did

not expect! I met people from allover the world who had come to

celebrate their faith.

I feel blessed to have gone on this

amazing trip. I had experiences Iwill always remember and made

friends I will always have in mylife. Returning, I can now say thatI not only connected with my

faith, but with myself.

¡VIVA ESpAñA!

fellow appointed

Since the beatication of Blessed John

Newman in 2009, the Center for CatholicStudies has held several events in his honor.

In May 2011, in collaboration with the Cen-ter for Vocation and Servant Leadership,the Center held the annual faculty three-

day retreat and featured as its theme the Apologia pro Vita Sua of Cardinal Newman.

Guest lecturer Cyril O’Regan, professor of Theology at Notre Dame University, em-

phasized the deeply moving and profoundrhetoric of Newman and his struggle to

become a Catholic. “The Apologia touchesthe deepest springs of the religious impulse

in the human person, an ever renewableforce in the contemporary world, in waysin which most of even the highest modern

art does not,” said O’Regan.

Another Newman event was the Center’s

Fall Lecture Series which featured threeseparate readings of Newman’s conversa-

tions on friendship from his Parochial and

Plain Sermons. Each offered an extraordi-nary glimpse into the soul of this saintly

friend. These readings were held in col-laboration with the Celtic Theater and

directed by Prof. James McGlone. Prof.McGlone’s dramatic and deeply moving

readings of the sermons were followed byequally moving reections by Seton Hall’s

celebrated Newman scholars: Msgr. Ge-

rard McCarren, Spiritual Director of theSeminary, on Vanity of Human Glory; Msgr.

Thomas Ivory, retired pastor, on Love of

Family and Friends; and Msgr. Richard Liddy,

on Faith and Obedience.

Summer 2011 marked the launch of theBernard J. Lonergan Institute’s Summe

Fellowship program, an opportunity foyoung scholars to devote time to thestudy and advancement of the thought o

Bernard Lonergan through the Bernard J. Lonergan Institute at the Center fo

Catholic Studies.

The rst Summer Fellow, Gregory Floyd

is a PhD candidate at Boston Collegeworking in Contemporary Philosophy

of Religion and Lonergan Studies. He isinterested in Lonergan’s thinking about

the possibility and nature of philosophicdiscourse on God.

Each year, the Lonergan Summer Fellowwill be awarded a stipend to assist in theacademic and administrative tasks of the

Center, including the editing and production of The Lonergan Review . Signican

time is allotted to the scholar for independent research and scholarship, which i

Seton Hall faculty, students and admin-istrators will all benet from its mem -

bership in the Lilly Fellows Program inHumanities and the Arts, a network of ninety religiously afliated colleges

and universities working to enhanceconnections between Christianity and

vocation. Four faculty members recentlyattended the annual Lilly Fellows confer-

ence hosted by Samford University in

Birmingham, Alabama. Attending theworkshop on aligning curriculum withuniversity mission were AnthonySciglitano, Chair of the Department of

the Core Curriculum, and Chair of theDepartment of Religion and Courtney

Smith, Associate Dean at the WhiteheadSchool of Diplomacy and International

Relations.

Prof. Sciglitano commented, “For some-

one just getting involved with adminis-trative concerns, I found the conversa-tions with experienced administrators,

the addresses and the breakout sessionsvery illuminating.” Prof. Smith was im-

pressed with the emphasis on “the need to

integrate mission throughout the curricu-lum rather than simply through common

requirements. As a faith-based institution,we offer our students an added benet of

personal transformation.”

Msgr. Richard Liddy and I attended theacademic conference on “Reconcilia-

tion.” Speakers, small group discussionsand ecumenical worship were gracefully

orchestrated with inimitable southern

hospitality, culminating in a meld of lec-ture and worship through Gospel song atBirmingham’s famous 16th Street BaptistChurch. This church is across from the

park where a stunned America watchedBull Connor turn re hoses and loose po-

lice dogs on children marching for racialequality.

For us, it was an exemplary introduc-tion to the Lilly Fellows Program in the

Humanities and the Arts. There is muchmore to come, including scholarship andmentoring opportunities for students

interested in exploring vocation in a reli-giously afliated university.




In collaboration with the

Stillman School of Business,

Catholic Studies continuesto sponsor graduate and

undergraduate seminarson servant leadership and

social justice. In the spring

of 2011, Carol Tobin, EthicalLeadership Consultant, led

a group of specially selectedstudents from Prof. Michael

Reuter’s freshman Leader-ship Studies group.

This fall, Terry Liddy, Interim Director of

the Micah Institute, conducted the graduatestudent seminar on servant leadership. These

MBA students from diverse backgrounds and

nationalities were selected because of theiracademic excellence and were invited to join

the seminar by Acting Dean Joyce Strawser.

The Micah Seminar on Business Leadership

introduces students to the dynamics of anorganizational leadership that is informed by

the values and principles of the major faithtraditions to allow students to more criti

cally evaluate current business, economic andleadership practices.

There is something very unappealing, if not

immoral, when a business argues that it cannot afford to pay a living wage.

With these words, Rita Rodriguez, PhD,senior fellow at Woodstock Theological

Center at Georgetown, set the tone for thesummit on April 9 entitled “Protability and

Justice: The Case for the Living Wage.”

The summit hosted a diverse group of busi-ness and civic leaders, theologians, faculty,

social activists and students, and was co-

sponsored by the Micah Institute and Wood-stock’s Arrupe Program in Social Ethics for

Business.

Participants challenged preconceived no-tions of a living wage. The focus was on a

values-centered understanding of what PopeBenedict XVI, and popes since Leo XIII, have

called for: the dignity of the person and the rights

of workers in a more just and humane society.

Colin Nadeau, Chairman of Colwen Hotels

and former Marriott executive, stressedthe importance of a ‘company conscience’

by citing Marriott’s policy of cutting prot

margins from 20% to 12% to ensure adequateemployee development and prot sharing.

Anthony Frungillo, vice president of Gourmet

Dining, the Seton Hall campus catering andfood service, shared the company’s efforts

to promote and reward. “Ours is a familybusiness. We use the family model of benets

for all.”

When an alien resides in your land you shall

not oppress the alien… You shall love the

alien as yourself as you were once an alien.

(Leviticus: 19: 33-34).

These words describe the Micah Institutefor Business and Economic’s lecture held

on October 27, 2011, entitled “And YouWelcomed Me: Catholic Teaching, Immi-

grants, and US Immigration Policy.”

The lecture featured Donald Kerwin, Exec-

utive Director of the Center for MigrationStudies and Jill Gerschutz of Catholic Relief

Services, authors of And You Welcomed Me:

Migration and Catholic Social Teaching. Also

featured was Father Jack Martin, Newarkpriest and head of the Haiti Solidarity Net-work of the Northeast. Attendees found

their beliefs regarding immigration policyand church teaching challenged.

Before introducing several college studentswho spoke about their experiences, Father

Jack, long an advocate for the displaced andmarginalized, spoke passionately and with

humor and song, of their often decades

long quest for naturalization. The audiencewas deeply moved by their testimonies and

their struggle for education and citizenship

With the departure of the Center’s last

Graduate Assistant Jan Waszkiewicz toa position with the State Department

in Washington, D.C., Catholic Studiesis pleased to welcome its new Gradu-ate Assistant, Sarah Adlis. Sarah is

from Houston, Texas and is a graduateof Texas Tech University.

Sarah was chosen from dozens of appli-

cants from around the country for thisprestigious award, which comprises a

scholarship for graduate study alongwith a stipend. Graduate Assistant

duties include administrative and pro-gram support for the Center, website

development, and student marketingand promotion.

Sarah is currently completing graduatework in Museum Studies at the univer-sity and hopes to pursue a career in

museum education. Seton Hall, with itsclose proximity to New York City and

many of the world’s great museums andcultural centers, is the ideal location

for her to pursue graduate work.

For those faculty members and administra-tors who have already taken the University

Seminar on the history and mission of Seton

Hall University, The Center for Vocation andServant Leadership offered an Advanced Semi-

nar on Mission entitled “Wisdom, Method andthe Catholic University,” facilitated by Msgr.

Richard Liddy.

The goal of this ve-part seminar was to help

faculty and administrators reach a deeper un-

derstanding of their own interiority, and in so

doing, come to appreciate the special wisdomthat characterizes the Catholic university.

Participants endeavored to distinguish between

expertise and wisdom, while being encouragedto move beyond immediate experience, even

the experience of expertise and specialty, toa broader vision: a critical thinking about criti-

cal thinking, and the questions, even religious

questions, involved in searching for wisdom.

Registration for the advanced seminar to be of-

fered during the spring 2012 semester is now full.

The Center for Catholic Studies’ spring course,

Foundations of Christian Culture: Rome includes a

course/trip to Rome during spring break fromThursday, March 8, to Saturday, March 17, 2012.

This three-credit course/trip will study histori-cal, cultural, literary and religious foundations

of the Christian church in Rome. In a program

organized in partnership with the Lay Centre atFoyer Unitas in Rome, the group will observerst-hand the monuments of ancient Rome as

The Center for Catholic Studies acknowledges and thanks all of

our generous donors from this past year. You’ve helped keep ourwork alive – contributing to the Center’s endowment, supporting

our ongoing programs, research and publications and our studentscholarships. We appreciate scholarship support, especially fromthe Fr. Walter Debold Scholarship Fund, for this year’s study abroad

programs: Foundations of Christian Culture: England at Oxford Uni-versity, and Foundations of Christian Culture: Spain, at the University

of Navarra, including World Youth Day in Madrid. Over the past

few years several hundred students have been able to participate inthese once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

We particularly acknowledge the generosity of the late Philip J.Shannon, Jr. (1938-2010), a member of SHU’s Class of 1960. His

commitment to the future of Seton Hall University and its students

was so deep that he offered a 5 to 1 match for funds raised for vari-

ous programs at the university, including the Center for CatholicStudies. In addition, before his untimely death, he of fered a 1 to 1

match for funds raised from the Classes of 1958, 1959, 1961 and1962. His generosity, along with the generosity of these donors,helped us greatly in support of the Center’s work this past year.

Please know the Center for Catholic Studies is mindful of the chal-lenging economic times and the difculties this reality presents to

many of the friends and families of our Center. However, if you nd

yourself able to make a donation, take great comfort in knowingyour generosity will not only sustain the mission of the Center, butease nancial burdens for future generations of Seton Hall students

so that they may fully experience the many graces afforded by a

Catholic education.
