More than 'just' a seminary
Thriving parishes and Catholic communities require more than good priests; they need servant leaders in the priesthood, the diaconate and among the laity.
And even priestly formation doesn't end at ordination.
The Saint Paul Seminary is home to five institutes -- each dedicated to forming the next generation of joyful, Catholic leaders in a specific, intentional way.
Confidence. Conviction. Hope.
The seminary's Catechetical Institute equips laymen and women -- from any walk of life -- to better understand, defend, articulate and live their faith today.
Ongoing clergy formation
The Institute for Ongoing Clergy Formation equips priests to never stop growing closer to the Lord -- all while cultivating joy, health and servant leadership.
Become a deacon
Men discerning a call to the diaconate in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis start here.
Become a Catholic school principal
The Institute for Catholic School Leadership equips future principals to guide their institutions with faith and excellence.
A theological think tank
The Institute for Catholic Theological Formation exists to promote deeper reflection, research and publication on the Church's Scripture and Tradition.
