Social Media
Social Media ministry in the seminary aims to train future priests to effectively engage with and serve people in today’s digital world. Through structured workshops and practical projects, seminarians learn to use social media platforms to share the Gospel, promote faith-based events, and foster a sense of community online. This ministry equips them to reach diverse audiences, communicate Church teachings clearly, and respond compassionately to questions of faith, preparing them to serve as trusted voices and guides in the digital age.
Programmes
The programmes offered by the seminary are:
Philosophy
Philosophy is very important in seminary training because it helps students understand basic questions about existence, morality, and truth, which deepens their theological knowledge. It develops critical thinking skills, allowing seminarians to analyze complex theological and ethical issues effectively. By promoting a conversation between faith and reason, philosophy enables them to express and defend their beliefs clearly. Moreover, it improves their understanding of human experiences and cultural contexts, bringing together different areas of knowledge needed for successful pastoral ministry.
Theology
The theological studies deepen understanding of God’s revelation and the Church’s teachings, fostering a personal and communal relationship with God and the Church; thus, equipping seminarians to preach effectively, to administer the sacraments and right providing pastoral care to God’s people. Through rigorous study, future priests learn to engage with contemporary issues and respond to the spiritual and pastoral needs of their communities. Thus, theology forms them into faithful shepherds, guiding the faithful in their journey of faith and discipleship.
Pastoral Course
The pastoral courses and pastoral ministry within seminary formation are designed to prepare seminarians for the practical aspects of ministry, to equip future priests with the skills necessary for effective pastoral care, enabling them to respond to the diverse needs of their communities. They are designed in such a way that the candidates integrate theological knowledge with practical experience, allowing them to embody the Church’s mission.
