We are delighted to welcome prospective seminarians, their families, and all interested visitors to our Annual Seminary Open Day. This special event provides an invaluable opportunity to experience firsthand the unique environment of priestly formation at St. Paul's Seminary.

The day begins with Morning Prayer in our beautiful chapel, followed by a welcome address from Very Rev. Fr. Dr. Emmanuel Katongole, our Rector. You will have the chance to tour our state-of-the-art facilities including the library, classrooms, dormitories, dining hall, sports facilities, and the famous seminary gardens.

Our distinguished faculty members will present information sessions on our academic programs, covering Philosophy, Theology, Sacred Scripture, Church History, and Pastoral Studies. Current seminarians will share their personal experiences and answer questions about daily life, academic challenges, and spiritual growth.

Special presentations will include:

  • Admissions requirements and application procedures
  • Financial aid and scholarship opportunities
  • Career paths and ministry preparation
  • International student programs and cultural integration
  • Alumni success stories and testimonials

The day includes lunch in our dining hall, where visitors can experience the community aspect of seminary life and engage in informal conversations with students and staff. There will also be opportunities to visit the school chaplaincy, observe classes in session, and participate in recreational activities.

For families traveling from distant parishes, accommodation can be arranged in our guest quarters. Please contact the admissions office in advance to reserve your space.

This Open Day is not just an information session—it's an invitation to discern God's call in your life and to consider joining our community of faith, learning, and service. Come and see what the Lord has prepared for those who seek to serve Him and His people.
