College – Apostolic Formation
The apostolic formation program engages seminarians in practical, supervised experiences of service on a weekly basis. The apostolic dimension of this program encourages the seminarian to reflect on his own unique calling to service and sacrifice.
Pre-Theology– Apostolic Formation
The overall goals, philosophy, and program requirements of the Pre-Theology Program are
consistent with that of the Apostolic Formation Program for the College Division by offering assignments based on individual experience.
Theology – Pastoral Formation
Seminarians spend one day each week in a local community-based pastoral assignment which enables them to experience a supervised pastoral setting and to develop a habit of theological reflection in order to understand pastoral situations and to articulate pastoral practice in their growth toward priestly identity. In addition, all students of the Theology Division participate in supervised summer internship programs in conjunction with requirements of the seminarian’s respective sponsoring diocese. This program offers a guided developmental experience conducive to learning, supervision, evaluation, theological reflection, and mentoring as the seminarian progresses toward priesthood. |
