Connecting with our World:
A Day in the Life of St. Peter’s Seminary
Every day, St. Peter’s Seminary makes
meaningful connections with its local,
national, and international community as
a theological and spiritual centre of
formation. Here are some of the activities
you might see in any given day:
6:00 am Many seminarians and resident
faculty priests begin their day with prayer.
6:45 am Father Michael Prieur meets
with the bioethics consultation team at
St. Joseph’s Health Care Centre about
whether to intervene in a life-or-death
pregnancy.
7:15 am Father Comiskey celebrates daily
Mass with the Sisters of the Precious Blood.
At the same time, Father Momney celebrates
Mass with the Sisters of St. Joseph
at the "Mount." Both priests thank the
sisters for their continued prayers for SPS.
7:30 am Father Bill McGrattan and
Deacon Neil Osiowy celebrate the
Eucharist with the seminarian community.

16 international students studying at SPS,
heads to his CultureWorks ESL class at
King’s College.
8:45 am Father Murray Watson receives a

world cultures in his Social Justice class.
Father O’Connor spent 13 years
working in Peru.
11:15 am In the A.P. Mahoney Library,
a United Church minister reads quietly
while two students from across campus
search the Internet for a work on the
social teachings of the Church and the
current hunger crisis in Africa. With the
new Shared Library Catalogue, students
and visitors can access not only the SPS’s
extensive holdings, but the entire UWO
collection and those of the affiliated
colleges, with a remarkable 2,144,000
records at their fingertips.
11:35 am Conference Services manager
Maria Serodio makes final arrangements
for an upcoming Knights of Columbus
Day of Prayer. Each year, more than

“Now the holy rays of the light of Christ shine
forth, the pure stars of the pure spirit rise, the
heavenly treasures of glory and divinity lie
open. In this splendour the long dark night
has been swallowed up, and the dreary
shadows of death have vanished. Life is
offered to everyone; the whole world is filled
with glory.”

Centre. This community outreach is an
important part of seminarians’ training.
This semester alone, 14 seminarians will
be volunteering at 12 social service
agencies in and around London.
4:00 pm Janice Howard-Smith receives
a donation for Save A Family Plan, an
international organization and charity
in Canada and the US which encourages
support for impoverished families in
India. SAFP is housed at the seminary.
5:15 pm Seminarians gather for
evening prayer.
7:00 pm Lay students, some driving
in from Guelph and Kitchener, arrive
for evening classes.
Evangelization means living the “good
news,” and St. Peter’s Seminary is
clearly full of good news as people
come and go, much as the disciples
came and went in Jesus’ midst.
Father Bill McGrattan
A Pastoral Centre of Life for Canada
As rector of St. Peter’s Seminary, I am
faced with the unique demands of
working in both a University and
Church setting. Every student brings
his or her unique and individual stories
of grace to our classrooms. Whether
they are studying for priesthood, lay
students, permanent diaconate candidates,
arts students studying philosophy or
newcomers to Canada with many
language and cultural barriers to overcome,
my role, and that of the faculty
and staff, is to be responsive to them as
they discern their call to leadership in
the Catholic Church.
Our SPS faculty and staff are a diverse
group of men and women, religious,
priests and lay men and women, both
married and single. The rector is
ultimately responsible to ensure that
they are supported in the valuable work
that they do in the education and
formation of our students.
Financial difficulties are not unknown
to any university setting, but SPS’s are
compounded by an aging building that
we believe merits being restored to its
historic architectural splendour. We also
need to provide our students with more
up-to-date residence rooms, financial
aid to cover ever-increasing tuition,
room and board and formation fees,
but most importantly, to provide them
with a high calibre pastoral and
From the Rector’s Desk
formational education. Balancing these
needs with the available funds is a critical
component of the rector’s role.
My days are full, but my vocation as
priest and my persevering vision for the
future of the seminary is strengthened
through the Eucharist and personal
prayer. I hope that St. Peter’s Seminary
continues to grow to become a strong,
pastoral centre in the formation of
individuals for ordained and lay
leadership for this country.
The Church is, first and foremost, God’s
work. But, through the human community,
we all must have a vision and must
exercise the responsibility that God has
bestowed upon us through the Paschal
Mystery to ensure that our vision comes
to fruition. Each of us is called to live a
life of charity which is the beginning
and end of everything good in this world.
Through our faith, which begins with the
Easter message, Jesus has set free in us the
courage to listen and to awaken in us the
hopes and dreams we might otherwise be
afraid to contemplate. Join me, and
together, in the spirit of charity, we will
make this vision a reality.
Rev. William T. McGrattan (MDiv’87)
Rector, St. Peter’s Seminary

Members of the SPS Foundation Board of
Directors gather for a recent meeting at the
seminary.
Editor’s Welcome
Building upon a Sound Foundation
1 Corinthians 3:6 -7, 9: “I planted, Apollos watered, but
God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the
one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the
growth…For we are God's servants, all working together.”
In the history of St. Peter’s Seminary, there have been many
giants. Towering among them are the Most Reverend P.A.
Pinsonneault, the first Bishop of London who had a vision
Gabriella Catolino
of a diocesan seminary in London, and the Most Reverend Michael F. Fallon,
OMI, who, on September 15, 1912, made that dream come to life when the
seminary first opened its doors at St. Peter's Cathedral in downtown London.
In the planning of the seminary and in the 92 years since its inception there have
been many individuals who have made that foundation stronger. How much
more blessed are we today for having such a remarkable legacy upon which to
build. Today, we continue to fulfill our mission and are supported by an
ever-increasing number of individuals who continue the building process of
God’s work in the world.
In this issue of Illuminations, I am proud to introduce to you some of the
individuals in the Diocese of London who give of themselves to sustain the
vision received from those former giants; namely, the Board of Directors of the
recently formed St. Peter’s Seminary Foundation.
On behalf of the whole seminary community, the Diocese of London, and the
Church of Canada, I thank them for their commitment and dedication to
St. Peter’s Seminary and the SPS Foundation. The gifts these individuals bring
to the foundation mirror the contributions of many others, including the
St. Peter’s Seminary Board of Shareholders, faculty, staff, volunteers, donors and
those who support us silently through their prayers.
The building of our lives, done under the guidance of the Spirit of God, includes
love, consistency, prayer, faith, and patience. So, someone planted, others watered,
and the final harvest or accomplishment is the result of each one, building on
the labours of those who went before.

Dr. Joanne Chafe is Director of the National Office of Religious Education (NORE) for the
Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and President of the International Forum on Adult
Religious Education in the Roman Catholic Church. She holds a doctorate in adult and
continuing education and masters degrees in theology and religious education.
Since 2000, Joanne Chafe has brought her international experience in religious education to the
Catechetics courses she teaches at SPS. As Father Bill McGrattan, describes: "It’s wonderful to
have a person of Joanne’s stature teaching at the seminary. Her gifts are recognized in the
universal Church, and her facilitation skills and understanding of how adults convey and share
the faith is outstanding."
We spoke with Dr. Chafe at SPS in January following an intensive weekend Module Course in
Catechetics she had facilitated for deacons and lay participants. Her generous, energetic presence
lit up the winter afternoon as she spoke about her work and her life.
Dr. Joanne Chafe
Tell us a bit about your work.
My work is very eclectic but all integrated
around catechetics, helping children,
youth and adults grow in faith. I work
with dioceses in developing good
orientations in formation and faith
work. I work with regional and national
conferences. For example, in April 2004,
our office is sponsoring a national
conference in Ottawa, Embracing the
Gospel, Engaging our Culture, to envisage
the future work for adult education in
the Church. I help liaise with the Vatican
whenever there are major catechetical
meetings. As President of the
International Forum on Adult Religious
Education of the Roman Catholic Church,
I help facilitate a forum of dialogue
around adult education involving all of
the countries in the world. As Director
of the National Office, I also participate
in the development of catechetical
resources for children, youth and adults.
Despite your demanding schedule, what
keeps you coming back to SPS?
I’m a great believer and supporter of lay
formation and theological education.
The catechetics course at SPS involves
both these things. For those people who
are future leaders in our faith community,
to have a systematic study in catechetics
and in evangelization is of great value,
and I’m happy to assist with that. I also
come back because the seminary is such
a wonderful place of hospitality, and the
Faculty Profile
Lighting a Creative Spark in Faith Education
quality of students here is very high.
They are aware of the issues; they’re
articulate, open, and interested, so it’s
a pleasure to work with them. It
energizes me and what they
contribute also nurtures my faith.
Who attends your Module Courses in
Catechetics at SPS?
The transitional deacons – this is part
of the program they study in their
diaconate year. This is very good
because they have had a pastoral year
in the community and they bring that
experience and their questions. Then
you have laity – marvellous people.
One woman is working as a volunteer
lay pastoral animator in a parish
where there is no resident priest. One
is a teacher, about to retire, who now
wants to move into parish ministry.
There are also people working full
time in paid parish ministry positions,
who are already animating parish
ministry and all kinds of areas of
educational faith in the community.
Bringing the two groups together in
this course creates a wonderful synergy.
You are a great believer in thinking
creatively. Why is it so important to find
new ways to share the Gospel?
Today we are called to reflect on the
“soil” and the needs of different
believers. We really need to understand
the diversity of needs of people for
support and formation. The more
creativity and diversity we use in our
approaches, the more success we have in
involving people in ongoing formation
opportunities. For example, the
Archdiocese of Regina has developed a
process for marriage enrichment called
Tables for Two. They turned their main
retreat house room into a dining room,
put on the fireplace in the dead of winter,
and invited couples to dinner. With each
course, they gave the couples a question
to consider about their relationhip. It’s
the best export Canada has had as a
creative idea and it’s now used in over
22 different countries. It’s amazing!
In our Module Course in Catechesis at
SPS, each participant chooses a catechetical
project and develops a model for their
own community. The possibilities are
endless and some of the participants’
ideas are ‘the stuff of genius’.
Dr. Chafe was delighted to hear of the
creative ways in which SPS is nurturing
adult faith development, including the
new Educational Travel program, In the
Footsteps of Faith.
Dr. Chafe is always looking for ideas for
creativity and renewal that can be shared
with the Catholic Church community at
home and abroad. Many of these ideas can
be found in Caravan, a publication she
edits for the Canadian Conference of
Catholic Bishops. For a copy of Caravan,
contact Dr. Chafe at jchafe@cccb.ca.

SPS seminarians, alumni and faculty lace up for some
friendly competition with St. Augustine's.
Looking at Mel Gibson’s
controversial new film,
The Passion of the Christ
It has been billed as “what may well be the
greatest outreach opportunity in the past
2,000 years.” But while director Mel Gibson
insists upon the historical accuracy of his
large-budget film, The Passion of the
Christ, the movie is generating concern
from critics for potentially reviving
longstanding anti-Jewish prejudices and
stereotypes. As one New York Times article
describes, “rather than telling the story of
Jesus’ life from birth to death, drawing
from a wide variety of incidents, it focuses
on the last twelve hours, giving a greater
emphasis to his betrayal and crucifixion.”
Father Murray Watson
We spoke to SPS Lecturer in Biblical
Studies, Father Murray Watson, MDiv’96,
who recently kicked off SPS’s Inspiration
for the 21st Century Lecture Series with a
talk entitled, From Gethsemane to
Mel Gibson: Taking a Second Look at
Christ’s Passion.
We asked Father Murray for his
thoughts on how to approach this movie
which is attracting such a storm of interest
and controversy. Here is his response:
Seminary Snapshots
“The Passion narrative has tremendous
emotional potential. It hits people on a
gut level. We want to be sure that this
gut-level reaction is accurate and fair.
To do that, we need to make sure that
people two millenia later have some
basic history and social background,
both in terms of Jesus’ time but also
in terms of the time the Gospels
were written.”
“People need access to some basic
information because images don’t tell
the whole story.” Father Murray points
to Garth Drabinsky’s The Gospel of John
as an excellent example of providing
thorough context. “Drabinsky’s film’s
web site and the DVD version provide
supplementary historical and Biblical
background materials that help to set
the story in context. In setting up the
script, Drabinsky drew on a lot of Jewish
scholars and he put a great deal of time
and care into the details."
Wedding bells for
Paul Smythe
For the past 30 years, SPS custodian
Paul Smythe’s beaming smile has made
seminarians, students, staff, faculty and
guests feel right at home. Paul began
working at SPS in 1973. What has
kept him here for three decades?
“It’s a real family atmosphere – that’s
what makes me stay. I love seeing the
students, and you couldn’t ask for
better seminarians!”
An exciting development for Paul this
spring – in May, he marries his fiancée,
Shirley Kourtesis. The ceremony will
take place at Mary Immaculate Parish in
London with Father Michael Prieur officiating.
From everyone at SPS, warmest
wishes to Paul and Shirley!
“...the angels were
applauding”
Paul Smythe
St. Peter’s Seminary was more radiant than
usual with the enthusiasm of a recently
engaged couple. Mr. John Anderson, a
long-time friend and supporter of SPS,
got down on his knees to propose to his
lovely bride-to-be, Bernadette Nuttall,
in front of the altar in the St. Thomas
Aquinas Chapel. John said, “there was no
other more suitable place for this event.
Christ gave himself freely to his bride, the
Church, and that is where I wanted to
profess my love for Bernadette.” He added
joyfully, “the angels were applauding.” The
SPS community sends its congratulations
to John and Bernadette.

Spiritual and Pastoral Theology
Ursula King. Christian Mystics.
Their Lives and Legacies
throughout the Ages.
Mahwah, New Jersey: Paulist Press, 2001.
250 pages ($29.99 Cdn).
“A mystic is a person who is deeply
aware of the powerful presence of the
divine Spirit: someone who seeks,
above all, the knowledge and love of
God and who experiences to an
extraordinary degree the profoundly
personal encounter with the energy of
Divine Life.” This first line of Ursula
King’s profound yet down-to-earth
work lays the foundation upon which
is demonstrated the impact of
mysticism on the life of the Church.
The text introduces us to sixty women
and men whose personal experience of
God transformed the times in which
they lived and continues to impact our
present understanding of spirituality.
Beginning with figures of the Early
Christian era such as Clement of
Alexandria and Origen, King spans
the generations, concluding with 20th
century spiritual models Edith Stein,
Simone Weil and Thomas Merton.
Christian Mystics offers insights into
the past and new horizons for our own
deepening union with God.

Library News
Noble Work –
a Tribute to Lois Côté
by Frances Theilade, Assistant Librarian, Public Services
How many people equate libraries with the search for truth? When we explore
the meaning of our lives do we think of libraries as an aid in our search? Do we
consider what authors have to offer us, through their works, as adding, in no
small measure, their contributions to the universal search for truth? Lois Côté,
recently retired Library Director, spoke of her work as a librarian in these terms.
During an Open House held at SPS on January 7, 2004 to celebrate her 35 years
of service to the seminary community, Lois described librarianship as “noble
work.” She spoke of her work as a great privilege as it allowed her to share in
others’ search for truth by selecting, acquiring and making accessible works for a
theological library. With a qualified and dedicated team, Lois developed the
services, resources and knowledge needed to aid all who use the library, in their
search for truth.
But it was not only her work as a librarian that Lois saw as a great privilege.
During her years of service, two opportunities – to study and to travel – deeply
impacted Lois’ life. Lois enrolled in the MDiv program becoming, in 1979, the
first laywoman to receive her MDiv degree from St. Peter’s. Two courses, one on
the Old Testament Prophets and another on Catholic Social Teaching, turned her
life upside down. Her life was further disrupted when Father (now Bishop)
Sebastian Adayanthrath, former Director of Save A Family Plan, a non-governmental
organization headquartered at the seminary, urged Lois to travel to India. In
1989 Lois travelled to India. Her concern and commitment to the poor,
awakened in the course on Catholic Social Teaching, was deepened. Lois fell in
love with the people of India, returning, at last count, ten times.
Lois’ relationship with the seminary has been mutually enriching. The superb
library resources that she envisioned and developed are a testament to her “holy
determination.” It has indeed been a “noble work.”

One day last November, Londoner
Gerry O’Neill picked up the phone and
called St. Peter’s Seminary. He had a
simple question – were there any
seminarians in need? If so, he would
like to help.
Years earlier, Gerry’s uncle had been
ordained as a deacon at St. Augustine’s
Seminary. Gerry had kept a programme
from that day as a memento and
whenever he came across it he would
reflect on the dire shortage of priests
today. Gerry thought that if he could
ever help encourage someone to consider
the life of ministry or help someone
maintain their path once they had set
their course, he would.
What led Gerry to call the seminary
that November day? “It could be seen
as nothing less than God’s providence at
work,” says a grateful Alexander Ross,
the young seminarian who is the
beneficiary of Gerry’s gift, which covers
the balance of Alex’s tuition, living
expenses and formation fees for the year.
Alex entered the seminary in September
2003. In his first five months, he
discovered that, while morning and
evening prayers, daily celebration of
Mass, and the Days of Recollection
were already taking him to new levels in
From the SPS Foundation
his faith, he was distracted by his
financial burdens. However, he put his
trust in the Lord to work things out
and, with this gift, he feels a renewed
sense of dedication to his work.
Alex’s decision to enter the seminary
had been a gradual one. He had always
been attracted to a life of prayer and
dialogue with God but, upon
graduation from London’s Catholic
Central High School, he was still
unsure of the path he should take.
He attended several Come and See
weekends at the seminary and
discovered that “it really fit with who
I was and what I wanted to be.”
Alex is strongly motivated to help
others, to “be aware of the gifts God
has given me and to develop them to
my highest potential so that I can give
them to other people.” One gift that
has already brought joy to people at
St. Peter’s Seminary is Alex’s musical
talent. He began playing double bass
in Grade 9, and enjoys playing jazz
with his brother, James, and sister,
Jessie. He loves the spirit of cooperation
in jazz, joining with and being
transported by his fellow musicians.
“It’s like we’re all in this together,
working towards something that is
beyond ourselves.”
Alex Ross (above), and at left with Ted Johnston at the SPS Christmas Party.
Private Donation is “God’s Providence at Work”
for Young Seminarian
For Alex, it is that same sense of
connectedness that makes
Gerry O’Neill’s donation so special.
Alex sees this gift touching not only his
life but the lives of all those who will
benefit most directly from his studies at
the seminary.
In his letter of thanks to Gerry O’Neill,
Alex writes: “I see your generosity as
something which you have given not
only to one needy seminarian, but to
the entire Church. The seed which you
have planted I am sure will bear much
fruit for the building up of the
Kingdom here on earth.”
For Gerry O’Neill, he feels that his
blessings are not the result of actions
on his own part, but, rather, God’s gift
to him, and he is grateful for the
opportunity to help.
And the music of God plays on!

needs of the infant Church and to maintain
fidelity to its mission of service. Deacons are
called to embody the ideal of every follower of
Christ, to be “one who serves” (Luke 22:27). For
