Applying to seminary has three main phases:
1. CONTACT THE VOCATION DIRECTOR
Discernment always happens with the help of the Church. The archdiocese needs to get to know you better before offering you a seminary application.
2. THE APPLICATION PROCESS
Applying to become a seminarian is a bit like applying to college, but with additional screening components. Some items you will need:
Academic transcripts
Reference letters
An autobiographical essay
Psychological screening
Background checks
In-depth interviews with the Vocation Director
3. APPROVAL BY THE ARCHBISHOP:
Archbishop Sample is ultimately the decision maker when it comes to seminary applicants. Many men find the application process to be a healthy exercise in self-knowledge and a helpful part of overall discernment.
To begin the application process please fill our the Initial Contact Form and the Director of Vocaitons will contact you as soon as possible.
