The application process to enroll in Â鶹´«Ã½ depends on your goals. Yes, we are a Roman Catholic seminary whose primary purpose is educating young men to be Â鶹´«Ã½ Missionary priests and brothers. However, we also offer our academic programs to those who aspire to different paths in life, which leads to a positive academic atmosphere for learning.
