Jubilee of Seminarians


The Jubilee of Seminarians is an event of great importance within the Jubilee of Mercy, proclaimed by Pope Francis in 2015. This special moment is dedicated to young individuals who are in formation for priesthood, recognizing the value of their vocation and their commitment to serving the Church.

During the Jubilee of Seminarians, a series of initiatives are organized to support and encourage seminarians in their journey of spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation. This includes spiritual retreats, training sessions, moments of prayer, and fraternal sharing, offering them the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and discern the divine will for their lives.

This event is also an occasion to celebrate the beauty and richness of the vocation to priesthood, witnessing to the crucial role of seminarians in the future of the Church. Their commitment to following Christ and putting their talents at the service of the Christian community is acknowledged.

The Jubilee of Seminarians attests to the Church’s commitment to supporting and accompanying young people in their discernment of vocation and formation for priesthood. Through this event, the Church invites all the faithful to pray for seminarians, to support them affectionately, and to encourage them in their journey of spiritual and pastoral growth.
