Formation

The Sacred Heart Minor Seminary was started by the Bishop Most Rev. Augustin Chapuis, MEP to encourage native vocation.

Now we have in the Minor Seminary 12 students in initiation, 10 students doing their college studies and 40 Seminarians studying in various major Seminaries such as St. Peter's Bangalore, Sacred Heart, Chennai and Good Shepherd, Coimbatore. By God's Grace we have enough vocations for our Diocese and we are getting an average of five new Priests every year.
