Spiritual formation Spiritual formation is at the heart of any seminary program. The Seminary Spiritual Director coordinates the Program of Spiritual Formation. This program intends to facilitate the development of a seminarian’s individual and communal faith life. Formed by the Word of God, the seminarian is assisted through a process of discernment to respond to God’s call. The program nurtures personal spiritual growth within a Christian faith community. The spiritual life of the seminary is an important concern to all involved in the formation of future priests. Growth in the spiritual life is fostered in many different ways. The seminary community gathers daily for divine worship at the Eucharist and at morning and evening prayer. Since a sustained communion with God is essential for the discernment to the priesthood, students are expected to set aside time each day for personal prayer, reflective prayer and spiritual reading. Spiritual conferences are given each month by the Seminary Spiritual Director.
