For men considering a vocation in the Catholic diocesan priesthood, they are strongly encouraged to contact their own parish priest and diocese’s Vocation Office. Candidates for the diocesan priesthood will go through a process within their own diocese before being accepted at the Seminary.

Exiit Qui Seminat – Spring 2026 Newsletter
In this latest Exiit Qui Seminat St. Joseph Seminary newsletter, SJS rector Fr. Sylvain Casavant, PSS speaks about the seminary’s upcoming 100th Anniversary from Archbishop O’Leary’s fouinding of SJS in 1927. Editor Matthew Witzaney reflects on the process of growth during formation, while seminarian Daniel Phillips considers how to reconcile the need for self-care with God’s command to love as He loves us.
About us
