We will assist as often as is needed on campus and in the community. Therefore, we commit ourselves to seek spiritual direction from one of the priests on the University staff. Additionally, and closely related, we will meet regularly with the director of the Pre-Theologate Program to discuss such topics as Household life, academics, family life, personal life, etc. Each member will meet once per semester with the academic advisor to the Pre-Theologate Program to be certain he has fulfilled the academic requirements for entrance into a major seminary. All members are expected to participate in the full life of the Household whether spiritual, social, apostolic or academic.
Any exceptions are to be cleared with the appropriate authority.
Requests for exception will be considered in light of the priority that our brotherhood and formation require. These are to be presented as requests rather than as already made decisions seeking endorsement. Any lack of participation not cleared beforehand begs the courtesy of an explanation, an apology and a turning of the heart toward greater faithfulness. Docility and faithfulness are essential in our formation program. As men set apart individually and corporately to serve the church, we must be exemplary among the student body in prayer, academics and certainly in brotherhood .
