The daily schedule in the High School seminary forms the seminarians to live a life of order and balance. Daily life has a healthy rhythm beginning with Morning Prayer and Mass, common periods of study and recreation, daily physical exercise and in-house responsibilities. Emphasis is laid upon each seminarian becoming prayerful, responsible for himself and the community and joyfully studious. Our hope is that the high school seminary formation will prepare a young man, if he is called, for life in the Major Seminary. A daily schedule follows:
