Pontifite 7 of 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Ok, Question for anyone who has been to, or finished seminary. I would like opinions and suggestions of where to go. I'm looking for a nice conservitive, traditional, one. I would like to learn from other people's experiences. Tell me which ones are bad, which ones are good. Because I'm seriously considering becoming a priest. Advise would be nice. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I go to school with some great seminarians from St. Joseph's Seminary. It is orthodox, and has been getting progressively more so over the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaBenedicta Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 There's a seminary at the Mount in Emmitsburg, Maryland that is worth checking out. I went to school with the pre-theologians (the philosophy department was shared by both the college and the seminary). It's a good, solid seminary.

morostheos Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I don't have any direct experience with seminaries really, but if you choose to be a diocesan priest, the diocese will decide where to send you, you don't normally get to pick. If you join a religious order, they decide. In other words: 1. Seminary or not. 2. Bishop. 3. The bishop sends you to a seminary. (Taken from a priest's comment on a friend's ponderings about the priesthood and seminary.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Andrew Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Prayers for you as you discern the call of Jesus to the priesthood! Morostheos made a good point. Often each diocese sends their men to certain seminaries. It's probably a good idea to ask the vocation director in your diocese or talk to your priest. Be assured of my prayers! peace, Sr. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
