About the Theme:
Examing some of the essential truths articulated by St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, Sts. Francis de Sales and Jane Frances, and St. Therese of Lisieux, we will ponder the mystery of God's revelation as it shines forth through the saints.  We will see that holiness is the universal vocation of every Christian and that God desires to display His holiness in unique ways through all of us.  These saints will give us hope that all of us can become outlets of God's wisdom and holiness.

About the Presenter:
Rev. Jeffrey Montz, S.T.L., is a native of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.  He grew up in Chalmette where he was involved from a young age in his home parish, Our Lady of Prompt Succor.  The faithful witness of his parents helped to lead him to develop a personal relationship with God and to foster within him a sense of vocation to the priesthood from a younger age.  

After graduating from St. Joseph Seminary College in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts, Fr. Montz continued his seminary formation at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans where he received a master's of Divinity in 2008.  The same year Fr. Monts was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Following ordination Fr. Montz served the Archdiocese as parochial vicar of three different parishes over the span of five years with one year being spent part-time in the diocesan office of worship.  In 2013, he was sent to Rome to pursue a licentiate in spiritual theology from Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum).

Having completed his licentiate in the summer of 2015, Fr. Montz joined the full-time faculty of Notre Dame Seminary, where he currently serves as director of spiritual formation, spiritual director, and professor of theology.
