It was announced in the Baltimore Sun, yesterday, that Fr. Thomas Hurst, a member of the Society of San Sulpice and Rector of Theological College, located opposite the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, has been named President and Rector of St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore, effective July 1, 2007. Fr. Hurst has been the Rector and "TC" for several years.
"TC" is the local seminary for American diocesan seminarians who study at Catholic University at their bishop's direction. This seminary has always maintained a strong reputation throughout the years. Not a stranger to controversy at some moments, the school has weathered storms and continues to attract the support of American bishops. It is not a diocesan seminary for the Archdiocese of Washington. It is a national seminary located in the nation's capital so that students can attend classes in the Pontifical sections of Catholic University of America.
Our prayers are with you, Fr. Hurst.
