General AdmissionsMission
St. Augustine's Seminary is the Major Seminary of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto. It also welcomes candidates from elsewhere. Its primary purpose is the preparation of candidates for ordained priesthood in the Catholic Church. This preparation for diocesan ministerial leadership embraces and promotes spiritual formation, theological education and field training. The Seminary is also mandated to form men and women aspiring to other ministries in the Church.
The
Seminary pursues its calling to form candidates as responsible and apostolic
persons for the service of the Church and world by fostering: faithful
love for Jesus Christ, his Church and all people; commitment to hand on
faithfully the tradition, teachings and history of the Church; commitment
to the exploration of the mysteries of faith through sustained scriptural
and theological inquiry; communal life through sharing faith, prayer and
wisdom
The Seminary's mission is undertaken in the context of committed ecumenical engagement as a founding member of the Toronto School of Theology, affiliated with the University of Toronto.
