Seminaries

A seminary is a school of formation for candidates for the priesthood (and, in some houses, permanent diaconate or other ministries), combining spiritual, human, intellectual, and pastoral formation under the care of a bishop, religious institute, or the Holy See. Major seminaries typically house theological studies; college seminaries and pre-theology programs prepare men for that stage.
