The Year of Faith has been a reminder to all of us that God provides each one of us innumerable opportunities to encounter Him in new and unexpected ways. It has been a time of renewal and hope especially here at St. Joseph’s Regional Seminary, Allahabad. This website invites you to learn about the life, joys and hope of our Seminary.
It is a place where generous men seek and dedicate to give their lives only to Christ and His Church. It is a vital place because here God prepares His future priests who will lead His Church through the second decade of the 21st Century and beyond. The Seminary which is in a certain sense the heart of the life of the Church prepares and forms men to see and to be the light of Christ for the people of God. The Seminary is necessary for priestly formation since it provides for training and development of the shepherds of souls after the model of Jesus Christ who was Teacher, Priest and Shepherd.
St. Joseph’s Regional Seminary, Allahabad prepares men for priesthood by instilling in them an abiding priestly identity and an ardent desire for priestly ministry while forming in them the true heart of a shepherd. Pray for these Seminarians and for those who lead them in the ways of Christ. May God lead each one of us more deeply into a life of holiness, wholeness, and zeal for living the Gospel as He has commanded us.
