A seminary in the American Southwest, which is in the midst of an expansion campaign, has welcomed a new leader. Fr. Larry Christian was named rector of Assumption Seminary, succeeding Fr. Jerry Brown.
Fr. Christian is an archdiocesan priest for San Antonio and former pastor at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Jourdanton, Texas.
One of Fr. Christian’s priorities is Assumption Seminary’s $13-million expansion campaign, which will raise funds for a new residence hall.
The seminary also welcomes a new director of development. Barbara Spinner will lead the marketing and public relations for the seminary’s endowment fund and expansion campaign.
