Fall-Winter 2013-2014

STEUBENVILLE: Six seminarians and two postulants are at the Marian House of Studies in Steubenville, Ohio. They are studying at Franciscan University of Steubenville this year, either earning an undergrad degree or completing their required 30 hours of philosophy, overseen by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, Fr. John Larson, MIC, and Fr. Angelo Casimiro, MIC. STUDIES: Most Marians preparing for the priesthood complete a Master’s in Divinity or a Baccalaureate in Sacred Theology (STB), a graduate-level degree. Studies are sometimes broken up by a pastoral year in Stockbridge or on the road as part of the Marian Evangelization Team.
