Dear Parents/Guardians,

LETTER OF ADMISSION

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus.

I am happy to inform you that the Seminary Formation Team responsible for admission and on-going formation has admitted your son, Master __________________________________________________to Junior Secondary School One (JSS 1) in this seminary for the 2015/2016 formation session.

Let it be known that this Institution is not another secondary school. It is a Minor Seminary. A Seminary is a place where those who nurture the ambition of becoming Catholic Priests are formed. The Seminary system therefore cannot be compared to ANY secondary school. Our Seminary was founded by the early Missionaries in the year 1901. With a long and wide history on her side, the Seminary has trained so many dignitaries in the Church and in the Society.

Our Primary goal is seen in our motto: Ad Altare Dei (To the Altar of God). The Lord in the end chooses those to serve Him, but our primary function is to help nurture the seed of God’s call. However, they are free to pull out at anytime they feel not called, instead of deforming others. Our Seminary has a proud past, a developing present and we are confident that the future is very bright.
