As a college and pre-theology level seminary, Holy Trinity Seminary puts a special focus on the human formation of our seminarians. Here they will lay the foundation for the maturity and stability needed for theological formation and ultimately for an effective
priestly ministry.

Seminarians and formation
faculty
meet weekly in Formation Groups.
|
The Formation Program at Holy Trinity Seminary is built on regular, weekly meetings with the other seminarians in Formation Groups
led by the Formation Faculty, and centered on a set curriculum of
topics.
Seminarians also meet individually with Formation Advisors
who encourage and direct their formation while advising them regularly of
the faculty's on-going evaluations.
Community life at Holy Trinity is the actual environment in which
seminarians are challenged and supported in the important issues of
human and spiritual formation
For example, through
assigned house jobs and a weekly, communal work order, they learn to
think of the seminary as their "house" and to accept responsibility for
its maintenance. Community life, as well as the whole formation program,
promotes a balance between structure and order on the one hand, freedom
and personal responsibility on the other.
  
 
Seminarians also participate in a variety of Apostolic work such as Practicums at Hospitals, Nursing Homes and in parish Youth Ministry. Some have the opportunity to travel during "Alternative Spring Break" with the University of Dallas -- to Ecuador or
Camden, New Jersey, to work with the poor or on projects like Habitat for Humanity.
