Life at the Seminary

It is a special aim of this seminary to provide priestly education in a Catholic spirit. This means not only that Catholic teaching informs all our instruction and all our formational work, but also that it is reflected in the concern to provide personal and spiritual formation in a Catholic spirit, stressing the Gospel ideals. The life of the seminary is centered around the Eucharist, especially daily Mass; it is nourished by the Liturgy of the Hours and by personal prayer. The traditions of seminary life here encourage Eucharistic worship, frequent use of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, devotion to Mary, love for the Church, respect for human life, concern for the poor, and a commitment to a priestly life of sacrifice and service.
