Saint John Paul II Seminary is an initiative of The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington to prepare college-age men and young adults for entrance into major seminary and eventual ordination to the Catholic priesthood.
The mission of Saint John Paul II Seminary is to provide an environment that forms men to be committed disciples of Christ who are free to respond to God’s call to the priesthood, including the call to the celibate life.
