A second seminary to open on Guam

Tuesday, December 17th, 2013

Archbishop Anthony Sablan Apuron. has. announced that second seminary is to be established on Guam.

The new seminary will be called the “Saint John Paul II Archdiocesan Seminary” and will be initially hosted on the grounds of the Carmel on the Hill Retreat Center in Malojloj. There are plans on the drawing board to construct the seminary.

The new Saint John Paul II Archdiocesan Seminary will complement the Redemptoris Mater Archdiocesan Missionary Seminary in Yona, which opened in 1999.

Both seminaries are diocesan seminaries owned by the Archdiocese of Agana; however one will underscore the local mission in the archdiocese while the other will have the added element of availability for the world wide mission.
