Pontifical Roman Seminary

X

The Pontifical Roman Seminary ( Italian: Pontifical Seminario Romano Maggiore) is the oldest seminary of the diocese of Rome.

History

The Pontifical Roman Seminary was founded on February 1, 1565 following the decision of the Council of Trent to better training of pastors. First seat of the Seminary was the Palazzo Pallavicini. The site changed hands several times over the following centuries, until finally in 1913 the seminar was its location near the Lateran Basilica.

The theological study was carried out in the first two centuries of the Roman Jesuit Collegium of the run, from which later developed into the Pontifical Gregorian University. On September 7, 1772 the seminary was - just before the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 - closed and reopened on November 1, 1774 under the leadership of the diocese of Rome.

Today is right at the Pontifical Lateran University Seminar on studying a majority of the seminarians. The facility is currently training alongside seminarians of the Diocese of Rome and other Italian dioceses candidates and to a lesser extent foreign seminarians.
