Forty\u2011five seminarians<\/span> undergo a six\u2011year formation while living within the seminary walls. We prepare them for ministry in vital regions of Ukraine: on de\u2011occupied lands, in combat zones, in areas without Christian communities, and in chaplaincy for medical, military, prison, and academic settings.<\/p>

<\/p>

Supporting and funding the seminary is a contribution to the development of Ukraine!<\/h3>
Future pastors will become leaders of public opinion, open people’s hearts to the knowledge of God, administer the Holy Sacraments, work with the consequences of war in society and heal the spiritual wounds of the Ukrainian people, and serve by spiritually accompanying Ukrainians in those areas where it is most needed.<\/p>
The seminary is the successor of the Greek Catholic seminary founded in 1780 in Radomyshl, Zhytomyr region, by Metropolitan Yason Smogozhevsky, which was liquidated by the Russian Empire in the late eighteenth century, and in 2010 it resumed its interrupted history of service.<\/p><\/div>

The seminary receives no government funding and is not fully maintained by the UGCC. The operation of our institution and all educational programs depends on the generosity of charitable foundations and private benefactors.<\/p>
It takes 14 million UAH<\/strong> each year to run the seminary.
Half of this amount is provided by our partners: Aid to the Church in Need (Kirche in Not), the Conference of Catholic Bishops in America, Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA), contributions from seminarians\u2019 parents, and other regular supporters.
The remaining half – 7 million UA<\/strong>H for the seminary\u2019s daily needs and growth – can happen only with your help!
Your contribution will cover essential expenses and give future priests the education and guidance they need.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
