In order that his ministry may be as credible
and acceptable as possible, it is important that the priest mold his
human personality in such a way that it becomes a bridge and not an
obstacle for others in their meetings with Jesus Christ the Redeemer. The Mission of Conception Seminary College is the preparation of candidates for the ordained ministry in the Roman Catholic Church through spiritual, intellectual, and character formation in the Benedictine tradition. Established in 1886, Conception Seminary College is one of the largest of the 40 Roman Catholic college seminaries in the nation and one of only 15 with a complete four-year academic curriculum. Conception strives today, as it did a century ago, to fulfill the needs of men answering the call to the ministerial priesthood. In the best Benedictine tradition, Conception Seminary College promotes academic excellence, character formation and spiritual growth. The operation of Conception Seminary College is the primary apostolate of the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey.
