When a man feels they have a call to the priesthood, they enter a seminary. The process of formation for the priesthood normally takes six years, during which time the seminarians live in a community of formation built around prayer and study. But what is life in seminary actually like? This short video interviews men at Oscott College near Birmingham, who openly describe their experiences and lifestyle as seminarians.

An ex-seminarian, now married and father of five children, shares his interesting reflections on the beneficial experience of seminary for the formation of men in this article. Let us pray for the courage of many more men to offer themselves courageously to service of God’s holy people as priests.

On Sunday 20th November, the feast of Christ the King, the Church invites young people to be at the heart of our celebration of National Youth Sunday and the closing of the Year of Mercy.
