THE DAY OF A SEMINARIST
The communal and fraternal life of a seminarist is at the heart of the formative experience at the Seminary of Ars. Dear to the Society of John Mary Vianney and all the instructors, it does stimulate the human and spiritual growth of the priest to be and gives seminarians mutual support as brothers through established friendships and communal prayer.
A typical daily schedule at the seminary is devised to promote life in a community and further structure the student. It supports, strengthens and encourages the young seminarist’s determination to succeed.
