The start of this video feels a bit like a recruitment advertisement. Lots of fit, good looking young guys. I have watched a few of these tour or overview of a seminary videos and the American ones seem very focused on sports. Nothing wrong with that just interesting that the makers of these type of video tend to focus on sports so much. I haven’t met many seminaries but the ones that I have met tend to be a bit nerdy and often a little over weight more interested in serving their communities than body beautiful. Not that there is anything wrong with being both. I wish them the best of luck we are in a world that has lots of opinions on the Catholic Church from those who think it’s not strict enough. To those who are obsessed with its views on sexuality. To those who see it as down right evil. What often gets forgotten is that most priests just want to work for God. To look after and care for others. We need to pray for them.
“I have given you life. What have you given me.”
I'm so glad that my day did not begin at 5:45 AM when I was a student at St. Francis Seminary in the 1960s. But I loved this place and my life there.
Much respect to you guys! I wouldn't make it past day one 😊
Very inspiring video. Proud to be a catholic. I would like to ask your permission pls. Can I use the audio of this video for my slide presentation? Thank you

Brilliant ❤
As a self-proclaimed certified atheist, I was once convinced that there was no higher power governing the universe. But all of that changed after I encountered this group of young men who had devoted their lives to Christ. Their unwavering faith and selflessness were truly inspiring, and I found myself drawn to their message of love and compassion. As I listened to their powerful testimonies, I felt a profound shift in my worldview. It was as if a veil had been lifted, and I could finally see the beauty and goodness of God. Who could dare to claim that God is dead when you witness the passion and conviction of these young men? Their words and actions are a testament to the fact that God is very much alive and real. I now proudly declare myself a believer in the divine, and I am forever changed because of them. If you too have ever doubted the existence of a higher power, I urge you to listen to the stories of these young men and see for yourself the power and grace of God. Your life could be forever changed, just as mine was.
The secular music at the Beginning seemed forced, and frankly, inappropriate.
Fake pagan priesthood You are not recognized by Jesus, u are all IMPOSTORS!!! Stop deceiving yourselves
Bro be nice
False Pope Creating a False Church because Good Catholics Will Not Stop Him Amici, Whatever Jorge Mario Bergoglio is creating in Rome via his "Synod", now extended apparently a number of years (we'll never get rid of it! You KNOW it is "Vatican III") - whatever it is, it is not the Catholic Church. How obvious is this? Just reading, even skimming, some of the stuff going on at that Synod strikes me as completely alien to EVERYTHING Catholic. So, clearly, the false pope is creating a false Church. Can we be remotely surprised? Yes, Bergoglio is creating a false Church via his "Synod on Synodality". And good men like Cardinals Burke, Müller, bishops such as Bishop Athanasius Schneider, and of course a host of Conservative Catholics (Fr. Gerald Murray and Robert Royal are exemplars) and Trad Catholics - too numerous to count, but Professor Peter Kwasniewski is an excellent example, are letting him do it. They're letting Bergoglio get away with it because they insist he is a valid pope, and actually occupies the cathedra of St. Peter. As I've written a number of times, Bergoglio is painfully obviously not a pope, and has never acted like one, so therefore insisting he is a valid pope leads inevitably to cognitive dissonance. You'll go cross-eyed insisting this fool - and no, I'm not very nice to "Bergi" - is an actual pope. In fact, you'll lose your faith if you insist on maintaining the charade. Video Tells All Ever see see that video of Bergoglio nine years ago walking along a hallway, spying two young altar servers, one with his hands in the classic prayer position? Bergoglio says something, then stops, and physically pulls the boy's hands apart, saying "Are your hands bound together? Seems like they're stuck." That little scene, right there, affirmed my growing suspicions and I've never believed he was pope after that. (If I ever really believed it before.) He wears a diabolical pectoral cross, too, as I've written here. And the man has consistently proven he is not a pope, nor a Catholic, and not even a Christian. Yet all these good men noted above insist he is actually pope and must be "resisted". Don't they comprehend doing that is driving a stake through the heart of the papacy? If it survives Bergoglio's wrecking ball at all, it will be stunted, shackled, and marginalized. Thanks to them. And so will the Church. Now, Ann Barnardt and her friends insist Benedict XVI did not validly resign in the first place. I think they make excellent arguments. Archbishop Viganò makes the superb argument that Bergoglio accepted his election without intending to serve as pope's are supposed to; it would be like a marriage being declared invalid because one of the partners had no intention of keeping any of his vows in the first place. Both these arguments are splendid, indeed, but for me, I think it is simply, horrifically blatant that there's nothing papal about this lout. So, GET HIM OUT! And any argument that can effect that is a most excellent argument, indeed! Otherwise, all these well-meaning folk will do as much damage to Holy Mother Church as Bergoglio himself, and ALL his perverted peeps, are doing.
We believe you just like Trump won the 2020 election - riggggght - I forgot MTG and Jewish space lasers and the earth of flat....
O Lord, heal me now, make me a worker in your vineyard.
This made me feel emotional ❤️
The video is prayerfully crafted to those who are discerning to enter the seminary, the seedbed of the priestly vocation.
Love watching ordination and seminary life...prayer to all priests, seminarians, thank you ❤🇨🇦

A priest is someone who goes to school to learn how to forgive sins and command JESUS to come down from heaven into a little flour wafer. AlsoA large majority of priests in the Vatican are gay, although many are not sexually active, a new book claims. A total of about 80 percent of the most revered clerics in the Roman Catholic Church are homosexual despite the church’s opposition to gay rights, according to the extensively researched book by French journalist Frédéric Martel. The gay priests adhere to an unspoken code called “the closet,” where it is understood that, for instance, a cardinal or bishop who denounces homosexuality is more likely to be gay, according to the book “In the Closet of the Vatican.” Another controversial claim in the book is that Colombian Cardinal Alfonso López Trujillo defended the church’s positions on homosexuality while hiring male prostitutes, according to The Guardian.

What doubt me is! A well knowledgeable priest’s are converted into islam always....why ?
alhamdulilah priest hilarion convert to islam right path❤❤
Hey there deacon Mike .
Well, I checked this seminary and Pius X Seminary in Virginia. I understand that St. Pius X is a traditional seminary and St. Francis is a more modern one. My thoughts are that st Francis is a secular seminary that doesn't prepare young celibate kids to face the strict and vigilant life of a priest who must survive a very difficult life as a celibate priest in a very secular and post Christian world. That's why there are so many failures in priestly vocations. On the other hand, St. Pius X seminary being very must focused on the strict and traditional formation of the priest, I believe that can give more spiritual strength and supplies to face the world we live in. I am not Roman Catholic btw
STOP THE PEDOPHILES IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, FOR IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS - LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE. HAVING SEX WITH A CHILD WILL NOT LET PRIESTS GO TO HEAVEN, WILL IT?
Yes, it happened and the Catholic Church Hierarchy will be judged for their cover up but the Catholic Church has made great strides to correct the errors (of course like any big organization its not perfect and had much more to do). I pray you can move on too...
Young men with a lot of enthusiasm. I hope this enthusiasm will continue when they become priests. When they become priests will faced many and strong challenges Study can give you knowledge. But experience can give you wisdom

priests are a bunch of perverts who abuse children
NO THEY ARENT
Bro that's not it I'm reporting
I have a priest at my school he's not a pervert, you have to be saved bro
Remember if you don't sin a little bit Jesus died for nothing
A popular “clever” response to Christianity on social media is to say, “If you don’t sin, then Jesus died for nothing.” The joke is as clever as it is new, which is to say, not particularly-Ricky Gervais, creator of the British version of The Office, was using it back in April of 2014. And like the American adaptation of Gervais’s show, it’s not funny enough to warrant eight years of recycled humor. Long before this was a clever “gotcha,” it was a serious theological objection that did a tremendous amount of damage. Grigori Rasputin, the “mad monk” (or “holy devil”) who was a spiritual guide to Russian tsar Nicholas II’s family, used a version of it to seduce women more than a century ago. As Robert Massie explains, Rasputin offered his own “personal doctrine of redemption: salvation is impossible unless one has been redeemed from sin, and true redemption cannot be achieved unless sin has been committed. In himself, Rasputin offered all three: sin, redemption, and salvation.” Rasputin didn’t originate this misunderstanding of the gospel, either. As far back as the first century, we find St. Paul answering a version of it in his epistle to the Romans: “What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!” (6:15). If that wasn’t clear enough, he also says of those who ask, “Why not do evil that good may come?” that “their condemnation is just” (3:8). Given that this is a grave misunderstanding, just what is it that it gets wrong about Christianity? For one thing, it gets the nature of sin wrong. God doesn’t-and can’t-desire (or demand) that we sin. Now, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine are clear that God permits sin: “Since God is the highest good, he would not allow any evil to exist in his works, unless his omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.” But he can’t will it, in the sense of desiring it or ordering it. After all, all sin involves “disobedience toward God and lack of trust in his goodness” (CCC 397) and is “an offense against God” (CCC 1871). It’s logically impossible for God to will sin, in the sense of ordering us to disobey him. To say God wills sin is akin to saying he demands to be disobeyed. That’s not just immoral; it’s an incoherent mess. The idea also underestimates our own sinfulness. We have sinned, we do sin, and we stand in need of a savior. As St. Paul laments, “I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do” (Rom. 7:19), and even the “righteous man falls seven times, and rises again” (Prov. 24:16). So even if you did need to sin for Jesus’ death to be worth something, you’ve already checked that off the to-do list innumerable times. Finally, the idea that “if you don’t sin, then Jesus died for nothing” gets the cross wrong. There’s an interesting (and hotly debated) question among theologians: If Adam and Eve had never sinned, would Christ still have become incarnate? Admitting that “there are different opinions about this question,” Aquinas argues no, Christ wouldn’t have, since the Incarnation is a response to the Fall. He quotes a scriptural commentary that “there was no cause of Christ’s coming into the world, except to save sinners. Take away diseases, take away wounds, and there is no need of medicine.” But Blessed John Duns Scotus and others argue that yes, God the Son still would have become incarnate even if Adam (and even Satan!) had never sinned. As Pope Benedict XVI explains, Scotus’s position is that “the Incarnation is the greatest and most beautiful work of the entire history of salvation,” and so “it is not conditioned by any contingent fact but is God’s original idea of ultimately uniting with himself the whole of creation, in the person and flesh of the Son.” In other words, while “the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10), this isn’t the only reason that Christ came. Whether you side with Aquinas or Scotus, one thing is certainly true: the cross is about a lot more than “only” forgiving sins. And here, those two great thinkers agree. Aquinas says that “many other things besides deliverance from sin” were accomplished in Christ’s death on the cross, and he lists five. First, the cross is a sign whereby man knows “how much God loves him, and is thereby stirred to love him in return.” Second, it gives us a perfect example of “obedience, humility, constancy, justice, and the other virtues displayed in the Passion.” Third, “because Christ by his passion not only delivered man from sin, but also merited justifying grace for him and the glory of bliss.” Fourth, to deter us from sin, as St. Paul says: “You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body” (1 Cor. 6:20). And finally, because it “redounded to man’s greater dignity.” That is, it was through man that sin entered the world. But instead of scrapping mankind as a bad idea, God redeems us through a man, Jesus Christ. So Christ’s incarnation and cross serve as a vindication of the human species. All of this is to say that although Christ may or may not have come into the world but for sin, and although one of the aims of the Incarnation and the cross is the forgiveness of sin, the mission of Jesus Christ (including his death on the cross) is about even more than this. His goal was (and is) that we should “become partakers of the divine nature” (2 Pet. 1:4), and in the words of St. Irenaeus, “the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God” (quoted in CCC 460). Those who sinned greatly, like St. Peter and St. Mary Magdalene, know the depths of God’s mercy in a special way (see Luke 7:47). But those who didn’t, like the Virgin Mary, still receive the full benefits of this divine plan.
I adore all the priests and always pray for them especially those who are struggling as Satan is for sure all over them tries to devour their soul. May a lot of angels protect them all the time. I strengthen, enrich my respect, love and adoration to our Dear Lord, Jesus Christ because of how I observe a priest who motivates me so much! God got the best & deserve the best, these men are smart and talented but they need our prayers!
might want to add werethis schools at. or a link to the school
Incredible.... pray the Rosary..
Not sure that a promotional video showing an all-male institution full of pretty young men is going to attract the right class of person to the priesthood
Like most Jews, Jesus was not particularly interested in death and the afterlife. He mentioned them once or twice but certainly didn't dwell on it. We're living now and we're here to be useful, leave the world a better place for our children. Stop coming all the Catholic mystification, start talking about Jesus, and show us what you're doing for the shivering homeless people a few streets away.
A priest' sole job is to bring back to God as many souls as is possible. That is a lot of weight upon their shoulders... pray for them. At 2:27, I feel that baby just saw Jesus... the young ones I've been told can see Him due to their connection still with Heaven.
