Education and Formation for Ministry & Evangelization

 

 
Christ at the Center of Our Life

In the Church and on behalf of the Church, priests are a sacramental representation of Jesus Christ - the head and shepherd - authoritatively proclaiming his word, repeating his acts of forgiveness and his offer of salvation - particularly in baptism, penance and the Eucharist, showing his loving concern to the point of a total gift of self for the flock, which they gather into unity and lead to the Father through Christ and in the Spirit. In a word, priests exist and act in order to proclaim the Gospel to the world and to build up the Church in the name and person of Christ the head and shepherd. (Pastores Dabo Vobis, #15)

Seminary Formation
The fundamental purpose of St. John Vianney College Seminary is to provide education and formation for those students whose stated objective is to discern a call to serve the Catholic Church as priests. In the Propaedeutic Stage of Formation the seminarians build a foundation of prayer, study, and community before entering the academic rigors of Philsophical Studies in the Discipleship Stage.
