Pontifical North American College in Rome Has a New Rector | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Pontifical North American College (NAC), a main seminary in Rome, has a new rector. Monsignor Thomas Powers is a former student at the NAC. The 57 year old is a priest in the Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut. He says "everyone in any seminary... is called to live moral lives, according to Catholic teaching." The North American College was inaugurated in 1859 and the newest seminarians arrived last week. Monsignor Powers joins us from the Pontifical North American College in Rome to tell us more about this appointment and whether having studied at the NAC will help him in his current role. In an interview with Catholic News Agency, he said he wants the seminary to have an atmosphere of transparency and trust, with Christ being at the center of everything. Msgr. Powers shares more about that. He fills us in on the college and how many students there are, where they come from and what they mainly study.
