President's Letter

Dear visitor to our website:

Notre Dame Seminary welcomes you to the pages, pictures, and information
that are at the tip of your hand through the magic of the internet! We
thank you for visiting our site, and hope that you can find useful
information and inspiration to live a life closer to God.

Notre Dame Seminary is a theologate and graduate school of theology whose
main purpose is to form men to the ministerial priesthood of Jesus Christ.
We also have lay people who benefit from our programs and dedicate
themselves to receive a degree in Sacred Theology.

We have been serving the Gulf South since 1923, and through this website you
will have access to much of our history and to the contribution of our
students to the propagation of the Kingdom of God in this world.

We ask you for your prayers, your support, and any other contribution you
feel could help us spread the good news that God is alive in our midst
through his continued call to serve Him through the holy priesthood of Jesus
Christ the High Priest.

May Mary, the Immaculate Mother of Christ, and our mother, continue to
inspire you to follow the ways of her Son, who is Lord for ever and ever.
Amen.

Pax Christi,

Fr. José I. Lavastida, S.T.D.
President Rector
