We, the Pope Paul VI Minor Seminary (PPVIMS), envision a Christ-centered community of young disciples formed holistically and integrally to serve God and His Chrurch, particularly the Diocese of Maasin.
Mission
Being the seedbed of vocation to the priesthood for the Diocese of Maasin, the Pope Paul VI Minor Seminary nurtures the seed of priestly vocation through integral formation; cultivates a deeper sense of spirituality and love for the Eucharist; and fosters a community of disciples guided by the Gospel and the Diocesan pastoral thrust.
Objectives
To help seminarians in recognizing and responding to the initial signs of priestly vocation and in discerning the state of life befitting their character and charism as children of God.
To foster the growth of the seminarian into the fullness of Christian life through an integrated program taking into consideration his physical, affective, intellectual, socio-cultural, and spiritual development.
To create an atmosphere conducive for the assimilation and deepening of values necessary for the formation of authentic servant leaders.
To expose the seminarians to the ideals and demands of the priesthood through a process conforming to their age and development.
To prepare the seminarians for major seminary formation.
