Men for Others
SJV seminarians are powerful witnesses of the Gospel on campus and throughout the community. Trained to live the New Evangelization as "missionary disciples," men participate in service projects by teaching religious education, leading Bible studies, and getting involved in campus activities. As part of their pastoral formation, SJV seminarians are expected to complete a Pastoral Ministry Practicum and a Religious Education Practicum.
"The disciple is the one whom the Lord has called to 'stay with him' (cf. Mk 3:14), to follow him, and to become a missionary of the Gospel." -Ratio Fundamentalis #61
