When the Pope has ordered a review (presumably leading to some clean-up) of US seminaries, choosing a vice-rector for Louvain from one of the most “progressive” dioceses in the country doesn’t reassure me. But I shouldn’t pre-judge. Does anybody know Fr. DeSocio’s work?
On July 1, Father DeSocio will begin as vice-rector of the American College of the Immaculate Conception at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. There he will work with major seminarians for a five-year period.
Father DeSocio has served since 1993 as the Rochester Diocese’s assistant to the bishop for vocations and priestly formation. He is also vice president of the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors.
