the latest Annual Parish Appeal Brochure - St. Peter's Seminary

St. Peter’s Seminary is where
the seeds are sewn and
nurtured to meet the needs
of the future Church.
“The seminary is a seedbed for all sorts of
seeds. The seeds are planted in all the areas
of our lives; our families, our schools,
our places of work, our communities,
but whatever their origin, each seed is
nourished in the rich soil of formation.
While we might spend only a few short
years in this environment, our entire
vocation is to reap the fruits of that
which has grown here.”
Allen Varlaki, Seminarian
Diocese of Hamilton
“I can’t say enough about the
formation I experienced at
St. Peter’s Seminary. But it
doesn’t end there, our future
depends on St. Peter’s to
prepare those called to serve
in the vineyard.”
Deacon John Shiha,
Ste. Anne Parish, Tecumseh
Diocese of London
In 1912, Catholics saw the need for diocesan priests and
built St. Peter’s Seminary literally from the ground up.
Generations of supporters nourished and maintained the
seminary. A century later, St. Peter’s Seminary continues
to sow the seeds of future servant-leaders: priests,
permanent deacons, lay ministers, and others.
By supporting and nourishing the seminary TODAY,
you are assuring the harvest of Christ’s kingdom for
TOMORROW and generations to come.
“St. Peter’s Seminary has been a beacon
of truth and academic excellence for
over 100 years. Students of Theology,
Philosophy, Catholic Social Teaching and
Spirituality are given a solid foundation
by exceptional professors. In my field
of entertainment, I will benefit from
my studies and experiences at this
outstanding institution!"
Michelle Iurman, lay student
Founder of the ‘We Remember
With TLC Veterans Organization’
“I see myself serving the Church of
the Future by tending to the needs
of my brothers and sisters in God’s
vast pastures. As I continue my
discernment at St. Peter’s, my aim is
to cultivate my call to holiness and
bear much fruit in priestly ministry.”
Paul Kim, Seminarian
Diocese of London
