Our Mission:

The College and Pre-Theology Formation Program of the Seminary of Our Lady of Providence is a spiritual, academic and pastoral formation process designed to prepare college students and college graduates for admission to a major seminary in preparation for priestly ministry.

The program fosters the candidate’s Christian development and seeks to enhance his Catholic identity as he journeys to the priesthood.  Its focus is primarily propaedeutic, i.e., preparatory and introductory.  As such, it aims to help candidates to reach the stage of readiness - personally, spiritually, academically and pastorally - to enter into priestly formation at the theologate level (cf PPF #216).
