An excerpt from Archbishop Carlson's letter:
During the coming year, I plan to lead a national search for a new President-Rector who will provide leadership for the mission of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary and for the renovation and expansion of its facilities. In the meantime, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Father Michael J. Witt, Ph.D. as interim President-Rector beginning this summer and continuing until the national search is completed. Father Witt is currently the Director of the Permanent Diaconate, Professor of Church History at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary and Director of St. Maximilian Kolbe House of Discernment. I have every confidence that Father Witt will provide strong leadership to Kenrick-Glennon Seminary during this time of transition.
