5 This action of the United States Conference of catholic bishops , made in accord with canon 242 1 of the Code of Canon Law, was approved ad quinquennium by the Congregation for catholic Education by a decree of November 15, 2005 (Prot. N. 1370/2003), signed by His Eminence, Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski, Prefect of the Congregation, and the Most Reverend J. Michael Miller, CSB, Secretary of the same President of the United States Conference of catholic bishops , I therefore decree the promulgation of the Program of Priestly Formation (fifth edition), which is to be observed in all seminaries, whether diocesan or interdiocesan, from the date of this same decree. Given at the offices of the United States Conference of catholic bishops in Washington, the District of Columbia, on the 4th day of August, in the year of our Lord 2006, the Memorial of St.

6 John Vianney. William S. Skylstad Bishop of Spokane President United States Conference of catholic bishops Monsignor David J. Malloy General SecretaryStatement from the Conference of Major Superiors of MenThe Conference of Major Superiors of Men, recognizing its obligations to help ensure quality training and education for the ordained ministry, has over the past few years collaborated with the bishops Committee on Priestly Formation in revising the Program of Priestly Formation . We are pleased that the committee which drafted this revision of the document has included sections dealing with ordained ministry within the context of religious life. Although academic requirements may be similar for both religious and diocesan priests, the religious priest will understand the ordained role and ministry as reflecting the charism and spiritual tradi-tions of his religious Conference of Major Superiors of Men adopts the Program of Priestly Formation Fifth Edition as applicable to all religious seminaries in the United States .

7 We do this at the invitation of the United States Conference of catholic bishops , preserving the rights and privileges granted religious in church law, especially regarding the religious and spiri-tual Formation of their own George H. Niederauer, Chair of the bishops Committee on Priestly Formation (1999-2002), asked Bishop John C. Nienstedt in December 2001 to chair a subcommittee overseeing the first phase of the revision of the Program of Priestly Formation . Bishop Niederauer also asked bish-ops, major superiors, and seminary rectors to consult with others in their administration and to offer suggestions about a new edition of the Program of Priestly Formation . The long process of gathering these comments and suggestions produced a wealth of insights based on both experience and expertise, which helped to fashion the current fifth edition of the Program of Priestly Formation .

8 This edition was also greatly influenced by the Apostolic Exhortation of John Paul II, Pastores dabo vobis (1992). It is with great joy that we present this document, which is the result of much con-sultation and collaboration and has involved the work of three bishops committees on Priestly Formation . It is truly a witness to the importance of Priestly Formation in the drafting committee for the Program of Priestly Formation included Bishop John C. Nienstedt, Chair; Archbishop Timothy Dolan; Bishop Gregory Aymond; Bishop Earl Boyea; Bishop Curtis Guillory, SVD; Bishop Kevin Rhoades; Fr. William J. Baer; Fr. Louis J. Cameli; Fr. Robert E. Manning, SJ; Fr. Daniel McLellan, OFM; Fr. Mark O Keefe, OSB; and Abbot Nathan Zodrow, OSB.

9 They were ably assisted by Msgr. Edward J. Burns, Mr. Jason Straczewski, and Mr. Jamie members of the bishops Committee on Priestly Formation who brought the project to completion are Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted, Chair; Archbishop Basil Schott, OFM; Archbishop Edwin F. O Brien; Bishop Earl Boyea; Bishop Edward K. Braxton; and Bishop Felipe de Jesus Estevez. In his November 15, 2005, letter to Bishop Skylstad (Prot. 1370/2003), President of the USCCB, His Eminence Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski stated that the Congregation for catholic education has completed its study of the Fifth Edition of the Program of Priestly Formation , which is destined for use in the seminaries of the United States . The text is most appropriate.

10 Of special benefit, in fact, will be the increased requirements for philosophical studies to a minimum of thirty credits and the lengthen-ing of the pre-theology period to a minimum of two calendar years.. | Program of Priestly formationWe are now happy to approve the Fifth Edition of the Program of Priestly Formation for a period of five years. With the successful completion of this document, the bishops Committee on Priestly Formation is pleased to offer this Program of Priestly Formation with much gratitude for all those who participated in the behalf of the United States Conference of catholic bishops and the bishops Committee on Priestly Formation , I offer our prayers and support for all those who play an important part in the vital work of Priestly Formation .
