"Making Our Families Make Sense" with Msgr. Shea
Episode 8
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
Msgr. James Shea visited JSerra to celebrate an all-school Mass in December of 2024, and graciously agreed to arrive early that day to address a couple hundred parents at our annual Advent Tea. With his usual wit, wisdom, and winsomeness, he delivered an engaging, entertaining, and (as always) deeply moving set of remarks that far exceeded our hopes for the event. Hear his presentation in full on this month's Plugged In. Msgr. James Shea is a priest for the Diocese of Fargo, North Dakota. He took over as president of University of Mary in Fargo in 2004. Since then, the college has seen increases along every meaningful metric and has taken its place among the top Catholic colleges and universities in the nation. In addition to seeing a huge uptick in enrollment, more importantly it has benefited from an authentic Catholic curriculum and established a vibrant culture of faith formation on its campus, drawing an increasing number of young, well-formed, disciples of Jesus Christ to University of Mary. Msgr. Shea earned a bachelor's degree and a licentiate in philosophy at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, and his theology degrees at the Gregorian and Lateran universities in Rome.
