The Major Seminary welcomes candidates to the ministerial priesthood and offers them a programme of formation in conformity with the intent of the Catholic Church and in due consideration for the requirements and capabilities of the local Christian community.
It provides students with the appropriate environment to pursue their vocation; to acquire the human, spiritual, theological, and pastoral formation that is essential to their formation in pastoral charity; and to carry out effectively the ministry of the Catholic priesthood.
The Seminary seeks to support them in cultivating that fraternal unity that binds the diocesan presbyterium with the bishop; in deepening their awareness of the multi-cultural milieu of contemporary society; and in keeping in mind their universal mission. At the same time, it fosters new vocations and supports the on-going formation of priests.
