By this faculty, St. Mbaaga’s Seminary’s mission is greatly enhanced in the priestly preparation and overall academic program.
Academic
Spiritual Formation Resources
The Spiritual Formation program works in co-ordination with the academic, human and pastoral components of the total formation program in preparing candidates for priestly service among the people of God. The program’s specific purpose is to foster the human and spiritual maturity of the candidates as they grow in relationship with and imitation of the person of Jesus Christ. Students are called to see their lives as a daily, free response to the animating presence of the Spirit of the Risen Christ. This is a gradual and life-long journey of discernment, one that is encouraged and promoted in various ways during the eight years of training in the Seminary Formation program.
[related_posts]It is the Holy Spirit that calls, forms, and transforms the seminarians in our care. Nevertheless, the formation faculty has the responsibility in a human way for the training and formation of the seminarians by providing the context, climate, structures, and opportunities for them to do their part in disposing themselves and responding to God’s grace through all the activities, situations, events, and persons that they encounter each day.
