Mission Statement
St. Augustine's Seminary is the major seminary of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto. It also welcomes candidates from elsewhere. Its primary purpose is the preparation of candidates for the ordained priesthood in the Catholic Church. This preparation for diocesan ministerial leadership embraces and promotes spiritual and human formation, theological education, and field training. The Seminary is also mandated to form men and women aspiring to other ministries in the Church.
About This Cause
St. Augustine's Seminary was established in 1913 as one of the first major Seminaries in English-speaking Canada to train diocesan priests. From the time it was founded, the Seminary has been a renewing source of study and reflection, enabling men of faith to mature both in knowledge and commitment. The Seminary pursues its calling to form candidates as responsible and apostolic persons for the service of the Church and the world by fostering: • faithful love for Jesus Christ, His Church, and all people • commitment to hand on faithfully the tradition, teachings, and history of the Church • commitment to the exploration of the mysteries of faith through sustained scriptural and theological inquiry • communal life through sharing faith, prayer, and wisdom. The Seminary's mission is undertaken in the context of committed ecumenical engagement as a founding member of the Toronto School of Theology, affiliated with the University of Toronto.
