Catholic seminary

A Catholic seminary is an educational institution where men prepare for ordained ministry as priests. It offers academic study of theology, philosophy, and church teachings, along with spiritual formation, pastoral training, and community living. Seminars aim to deepen one's understanding of faith and develop the skills necessary for leadership and service within the Church. Students often spend several years in formation before being ordained, combining intellectual, spiritual, and practical preparation to serve the spiritual and pastoral needs of Catholic communities.
