The Parables of Christ: Learning to Teach as He Did

With Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli

Come and join us at St. Vincent de Paul for a great week of study, prayer, fraternity, and rest and enjoy the

wisdom of the consummate teacher, Bishop Arthur Serratelli.

Bishop Serratelli will focus on Jesus as Master and Teacher. Our Lord attracted crowds to His teaching, challenged His adversaries, and opened for all the way to the Kingdom of God. His teaching techniques and, most especially, His parables present His offer of salvation in an engaging way. The 2020 Priest

2020 PRIEST WINTER INSTITUTE

Winter Institute will examine the way Jesus taught, concentrating on His use of parables, in order to help our priests in preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Before becoming Bishop of Patterson in 2004, Bishop Serratelli , was a priest and later Auxiliary Bishop of Newark. He was ordained a priest in 1968 and received a License in Sacred Scripture (SSL) from the Bibli-cum in Rome, as well as a licentiate and doctorate in Biblical Theology (STL and STD) from the Gregorian University. He taught biblical language and scripture at Immaculate Conception Seminary in Newark for twenty-five years. He also taught in the former Seton Hall Institute for Priests, and has a great passion for sharing the Word with his brothers to help them to be better preachers. Teaching is Bishop Serratelli’s first love, and participants in the 2020 Priest Winter Institute will benefit from his wisdom.

The Parables of Christ: Learning to Teach as He Did

With Bishop Arthur Serratelli

St. Vincent de Paul Regional SeminaryBOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

Each year St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary offers a study week for priests. We hold it in January to capitalize on our Florida winter climate. The purpose of the Institute is to provide parish priests an attractive and illuminating program offering inspiring presenta-tions, intellectual stimulation and time for prayerful recollection – all in a pleasant and naturally peaceful environment. Our program is a service responding to a genuine need as well as offering a time for respite, reflection and a well-earned change of pace.

In recent years many changes have taken place at St. Vincent’s. The campus is equipped with the latest tech-nology. Our expansive grounds, recently landscaped, provide spaces for walking, running or just meditat-ing quietly. The exercise facility is fully equipped. An outdoor 24-yard swimming pool is always open. Each completely renovated bedroom is beautifully appointed, quiet and includes a private bath. Our exceptional meals are prepared by our chef and dedicated staff.

We’ve planned the time to dovetail with parish life. Participants arrive by 7:00 pm on Sunday evening and leave after lunch on the following Friday. For a complete schedule visit our website: www.svdp.edu. Under the “EVENTS” tab scroll to Ongoing Formation, then Priest Winter Institute. Space is limited. It is recommended that you reserve a spot early.

To assist the Institute in planning, please register before January 16, 2020.
