Notre Dame Seminary seeks to form seminarians to be effective pastors who are deeply rooted in Christ, affectively mature, intellectually equipped, and pastorally sensitive. Guided by the wisdom of the Church in the writings of the recent popes, we commit to forming seminarians who will lead and serve the people of God with a Christ-like heart, with a mind grounded in truth, and with a spirit of compassion, attuned to the needs of God's people.
