Seminary
In the academic year 2024-2025, our seminary has 67 students from 18 dioceses and religious congregations, comprising 62 resident students and 5-day scholars. The Institute consists of 36 teachers: 19 permanent and 17 non-permanent. Of the permanent teachers, 8 reside on campus, serving in roles such as Rector, Vice-Rector, Spiritual Director, Director of the Institute, Coordinator of Philosophy and Theology, and group mentors in addition to their teaching ministry. Non-resident professors conduct classes according to the established schedule. Each academic year commences with a five-day formation program for all teaching staff. Our Institute includes three religious sisters, along with three Spiritual Directors—two resident and one non-resident—providing spiritual guidance. The support staffs comprise two lay librarians and 12 domestic personnel responsible for reception, culinary services, agricultural work, housekeeping, maintenance, and transportation.
The Holy Trinity Institute of Theology is committed to the formation of clergy and lay leaders grounded in the sacred disciplines of philosophy, theology, and pastoral care. Through rigorous academic study in philosophy, students are equipped to engage deeply with the Church’s intellectual tradition, while theological courses cultivate a profound understanding of Sacred Scripture and doctrine. Pastoral training provides essential skills for compassionate ministry, preparing students to serve faithfully and selflessly. Under the guidance of learned faculty, the Institute fosters a harmonious environment where faith and reason flourish, inspiring graduates to serve as Christ-centered leaders in the modern world
From the Rector's Desk
Dear Friends,
Peace to you.
With gratitude to God I welcome you to the website of our Major Seminary, a sacred place of formation that has been faithfully serving the Church for over 40 years since 1985.
Since its foundation, the seminary has stood as a beacon of faith, hope and love, dedicated to preparing young men and women academically and spiritually for the mission of Christ in North India.
Over the past four decades, we have witnessed the quiet yet powerful work of the Holy Spirit shaping the hearts and minds of the future priests, who have gone to serve with humility, pastoral zeal, and love in parishes and missions far and near. This enduring legacy is not only a testament to the dedication of our formators, faculty and benefactors, but also to unwavering commitment of our seminarians equally who continue to respond generously to God’s call and are willing to be formed as missionary disciples and leaders to continue the mission of Jesus, rooted in God’s love.
In today’s world, the need for well formed, intelligent, courageous and compassionate ministers is as urgent as ever. Here at the seminary, we remain firmly rooted in the tradition of the Church, while also responding to the pastoral challenges of our times. Through diligent intellectual formation, and committed to pastoral, human and spiritual training, we strive to form shepherds after the heart of Christ.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our life and work in the seminary in the journey of priestly formation. May we all be inspired to pray for vocations and to support the ongoing work of the Church in forming faithful servants of the Gospel of Christ.
In the Peace of Christ,
