A Day In the Life

A Day In the Life (College)

Daily life in the College Seminary is exciting and challenging. Beginning with meditation and Mass in the morning, each seminarian is invited to take responsibility for common prayer, personal prayer and study and community and apostolic life. Daily classes and academic assignments take up the bulk of the day. Under the guidance of the Rector, their Spiritual Directors, and their Seminary Formators, the seminarians are encouraged to be active participants in their own formation for the pastoral life. Special emphasis is laid upon a serious but joyful liturgical and communal life. A daily schedule follows:
