College
Seminarians attend weekly human formation conferences that are offered in the College Division during each year of formation.  Various topics regarding growth as a Christian man
are expounded upon under these area:

• Human Development and the Four Areas of Formation
• Self-Awareness and Understanding as a Basis for Maturity
• The Life of a Virtuous Christian
• Living a chaste life in the world today

Pre-Theology
Conferences are also offered in the Pre-Theology Program.  The Pre-Theology Program is designed, in the area of human formation, to allow men who have graduated from college and possess more extensive life experience to concentrate on the development of a sense of fraternity and an appreciation of the wholesome relationships that should be found among seminarians and priests.  As the pre-theologian prepares to enter the Theology Division, he must realize that his maturing process continues on every level of human development.  The topics addressed are based upon:

• Mature Human Development and the Four Areas of Formation
• Chaste living and an understanding of celibacy
• The ascetical life of Christian discipleship
• Healthy relationships and community living

Theology
The conferences in the Theology Division continue to build upon the human formation addressed in the College Division and Pre-Theology programs.  The topics addressed in the four years of theology are based upon:

• Preparing for and Living Priestly Celibacy
• The Ministries of Reader and Acolyte and Ministry as a Deacon
• Service and Leadership
• The Identity of the Diocesan Priest
