Welcome to St Paul's National Major Seminary, Kinyamasika, a beacon of hope and spiritual formation nestled in the heart of Uganda. For over four decades, our seminary has stood as a testament to the Church's unwavering commitment to forming holy, learned, and zealous priests for God's people.
Our beautiful campus, situated in the serene hills of Kinyamasika, provides an ideal environment for prayer, study, and community life. Here, young men from across East Africa discern their calling to the priesthood while receiving comprehensive formation that prepares them for a lifetime of service.
We invite you to discover the rich tradition of priestly formation that has shaped hundreds of priests who now serve with distinction across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, and beyond. At St Paul's Seminary, we don't just educate minds – we form hearts, souls, and pastoral leaders for the Church of tomorrow.
