Institutes

More than 'just' a seminary

Thriving parishes and Catholic communities require more than good priests; they need servant leaders in the presbyterate, the diaconate and the laity.

And even priestly formation doesn't end at ordination.

The Saint Paul Seminary is home to five institutes -- each dedicated to forming the next generation of joyful, Catholic leaders in a specific, intentional way.

Confidence. Conviction. Hope.

The seminary's Catechetical Institute equips laymen and women -- from any walk of life -- to better understand, defend, articulate and live their faith today.

Ongoing clergy formation

The Institute for Ongoing Clergy Formation equips priests to never stop growing closer to the Lord -- all while cultivating joy, health and servant leadership.
