Amid the intense rhythm of academic and formative life, there are moments when we must pause — to return to our centre: the interior life and our living relationship with the Lord. This is the very reason our monthly retreats exist. And so, on Saturday the 16th of May 2026, we gathered for our monthly retreat, led by Fr. Richard Stonier, a doctoral candidate in Canon Law and a former student of our college. During the meditations, Fr. Richard guided us to turn to the Lord and

“Oh, what joy when they said to me: let us go to the house of the Lord,” says Psalm 122, and this is exactly what we experienced on Thursday, May 14, a feast day for our College.

There is no greater joy for a mother, for a family, than to see her children reach the goal of their lives and fulfil their heartfelt dreams. That same joy fills our hearts as a community, as we celebrate two of our former seminary students who have been ordained to the priesthood in this spring -April and May 2026. With deep gratitude, we announce the priestly ordination of two brothers formed within our seminary: Fr. Rajeesh James, of the Diocese of Neyyattinkara in India,

On Saturday the 25th, some seminarians, together with one of the priests of our College, visited the Vatican Gardens, continuing our tradition of discovering the heart of Rome under the meaningful motto: “Learning Rome.” Beyond the indescribable sense of wonder at the richness and botanical beauty of the many species of flowers, plants, and the charming fountains—among them the fountain with turtles—within the gardens, we were deeply impressed by the extraordinary beauty of t

Rome feeds curiosity and ignites the desire to explore her ever more deeply. She is a city of breathtaking beauty — one that surpasses anything books or stories could ever fully capture. Beyond her iconic landmarks, silent witnesses to Rome's enduring influence on the civilization and culture of the world, the city is woven together by a tapestry of streets, squares, hills and fountains that are inseparable from her extraordinary historical and cultural heritage. This is the

With great joy and a true spirit of fraternity, we celebrated, on Saturday, April 18, together with the birthdays of this month, the fortieth birthday of our formator, Fr. James, originally from Kenya, who for some years has been sharing with us his experience of life and ministry. It was a moment of joy and a real opportunity to celebrate the gift of life: a good barbecue, music, songs, performances, among others. Celebrating one more year of life is a very beautiful occasio

A group of seminarians of our college concluded its annual retreat in Ariccia, a privileged time of silence and spiritual renewal for all seminarians. This year’s retreat was preached by Fr.
