Admission to the St. Peter and Paul Philosophical and Theological Seminary programs is limited to qualified men and women .  Each candidate for admission must be either sponsored by his Ordinary or Religious Superior or self sponsored and then approved by the Rector of the Seminary. After Philosophical and Theological Studies only those men who prove to be above reproach can proceed to apply for ordination in our Society of St. Peter and Paul.
