The Seminary’s team
To train priest for the mission of the Church
Why Ars ?
Come & See
“The bonds that are created in the Seminary between formators and seminarians, and between the seminarians themselves, must me marked by a sense of fatherhood and fraternity””
Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis
MEET THE TEAM

The seminary is under the pastoral responsibility of Father Emeric Colas des Francs, General Moderator of the John Mary Vianney Society and Father Roch Valentin, the Superior.
