Church of the Holy Trinity’s Father Michael Connolly organized this anniversary event for the episcopal vicar of the northern counties, Bishop Gerardo J. Colacicco.

The night was filled with appreciation for the bishop, along with a speech from his seminary classmate, St. Columba Church’s Father Michael McLoughlin, who relayed the great work being done by Bishop Colacicco and his impact on his section of the archdiocese.

Monsignor Luke Sweeney, S.T.L., is the dean of seminarians and professor of Catholic social teaching at St. Joseph's Seminary. We spoke with him about the next generation of priests, the upcoming comprehensive exams at the seminary, and how we can respect God's creation.
