Two Join Seminary Board of Regents
March 27
The Most Reverend Jeffery Monforton, bishop of the Diocese of Steubenville, and Richard A. DiClaudio, chief executive officer and managing partner of Blue Tip Energy Management, LLC were recently named to the Saint Vincent Seminary Board of Regents. Saint Vincent Seminary is the fourth oldest Roman Catholic Seminary in the United States. It has its canonical foundation in the papal bull Inter ceteras (1855), issued by Pope Pius IX, but its actual origins go back to the vision of a single Benedictine monk from Bavaria, Boniface Wimmer (1809-1887) who founded Saint Vincent Archabbey, College, and Seminary in 1846. Since then nearly 2500 men have been ordained to the priesthood, and among our distinguished alumni are 30 bishops, archbishops, and cardinals.
