The Archbishop Peter L. Gerety Fund for Ecclesiastical History was established by the former Archbishop of Newark (1974-86) to promote study, research and scholarship in Church history broadly considered. It carries out its mandate in four major ways:
- Gerety Lectures: Twice each academic year, ICSST sponsors lectures by distinguished guest speakers on subjects of Church history. Past lecturers have included John Tracy Ellis, Jaroslav Pelikan, Gerald Fogarty, Virgilio Elizondo, Philip Gleason, Albert Raboteau, Stephen Carter, John Jay Hughes, Jan Michael Joncas, Thomas Shelley, and John O'Malley, S.J.
- Gerety Seminarian Award: An annual prize is given to the Catholic seminarian enrolled at ICSST who completes the best project in Church history in a given year.
- Gerety Book Award: A biennial subvention of $2,000 is provided for the publication of a book, a substantial portion of which deals with the history of the Roman Catholic community in New Jersey. It is expected that the book will reflect the use of the archives of the Archdiocese of Newark and/or other deposits in the archives of Seton Hall University under care of the New Jersey Catholic Historical Records Commission.
- Gerety Research Award: A $300 annual prize is given for the best monograph produced as a result of research in the archives of the Archdiocese of Newark and/or other deposits in the archives of Seton Hall University under care of the New Jersey Catholic Historical Records Commission.
For additional information about these awards, contact the associate dean.
