"May our study and prayer enable us to meet the challenges of the New Evangelization so that all may come to know Jesus Christ and the power of his sacraments." 

Thursday evening November 10, 2011 at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington the formal announcement was made about the New Inter-diocesan Seminary Partnership.  Most Rev. Timothy Dolan Archbishop of New York, Most Rev. William Murphy Bishop of Rockville Centre (Presider), and Most Rev. Nicholas DiMarzio Bishop of Brooklyn announced the formalization of a joint operating agreement to create a single program for priestly formation for their three dioceses and beyond, a new program for the ongoing theological and spiritual enrichment of priests and permanent deacons, and a centralization of lay ministry programs to support the New Evangelization. 

"I believe that this is the right thing to do for the Church, for our priests, for the seminarians of today and tomorrow. Blessed John Paul II called us at the beginning of this century to be courageous and set out into the deep. With his prayers and with the vision of our Holy Father Pope Benedict, I believe we today are creating the structures and the opportunities for our churches to be heralds of the New Evangelization." - Bishop William Murphy

The announcement was followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, silent prayer, and the reading of 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7; 12-13

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae,
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte.

   Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
   nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
   O clemens: O pia: O dulcis Virgo Maria.
