We provide spaces for seminarians to learn, transform and pursue their call to priesthood

Solid formation

Great facilities

Ongoing Support

Before joining a seminary many questions enter the minds of those discerning like…

  • What will be required of me?​
  • Do I have what it takes?​
  • Could I study, live, learn, laugh and flourish in this environment?​
  • How will I be supported in this process?​
  • What happens if I changed my mind?​
  • Does it cost me anything?​
  • What training and formation will best prepare me for priesthood? 

At the Holy Spirit Seminary we ensure everything is setup to the best of our ability to create an environment where men can thrive (not just survive) and prepare themselves for their vocation to the priesthood.​

What People Are Saying

Although I am not yet done with my time at Holy Spirit Seminary, I thank God for the fruits it has already born in my life and the lives of others.

Harold Conrod

My experience with the poor and the
suffering convicted and convinced me that there is more to this life
than a successful career and accomplishment. So, I decided to give my life to God through the Seminary, that I may bring His Good News to the world.

Godwin James

Thanks to the Holy Spirit Seminary, I feel confident and ready to take on my role in the Church with a renewed sense of purpose and faith.
