Our job, to serve

In the unceasing work of serving the Church, more than 800 bishops from 131 countries want some of their seminarians and priests to study at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Rome) or at the Faculties of Ecclesiastical Studies of the University of Navarra (Pamplona). These bishops want them to complete their intellectual, human and spiritual formation at the international seminaries Sedes Sapientieae (Rome) and Bidasoa (Pamplona).

By forming themselves conscientiously, they will be able to serve the Church and all Christians in the countries where they exercise their ministry and vocation.
