Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate Georgetown University Washington, D.C. Global Directory of Catholic Seminaries Part V: South America January 2017 Michal J. Kramarek, Ph.D. Fr. Thomas P. Gaunt, S.J., Ph.D. Santiago Sordo-Palacios Part V: South America Number of Seminary Records for South America in the Directory of Seminaries by Country This part of the Directory of Catholic Seminaries describes seminaries in South America. The map above illustrates the number of seminary records in the Directory by country. Overall, the Directory includes 764 seminary records for South America. Among countries in this world region, the Directory includes the highest number of seminary records for Brazil (303 seminaries), Colombia (152 seminaries), and Peru (107 seminaries). 2 Comparison between the Number of Seminaries in the Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae (ASE) and Its Equivalent in the Directory of Catholic Seminaries (DCS) in South America by Country1 Number of seminaries in ASE Number of seminaries in DCS Secondary Philosophy and Not ASE Secondary Philosophy and Not DCS schools theology classified total schools theology classified total Argentina 35 89 - 124 1 28 30 59 Bolivia 28 25 - 53 3 19 1 23 Brazil 460 550 - 1,010 14 154 135 303 Chile 11 59 - 70 0 25 6 31 Colombia 100 177 - 277 3 103 46 152 Ecuador 30 43 - 73 0 34 16 50 Falkland 0 0 - 0 0 0 0 0 Islands French Guiana 0 0 - 0 0 0 0 0 Guyana 0 0 - 0 0 0 0 0 Paraguay 26 23 - 49 1 5 1 7 Peru 62 90 - 152 7 80 20 107 Suriname 0 2 - 2 0 0 0 0 Uruguay 4 3 - 7 0 3 0 3 Venezuela 29 64 - 93 2 17 2 21 South America 785 1,125 0 1,910 31 468 257 756 The table above attempts to estimate how complete the Directory is by comparing the number of seminaries listed in the Segreteria di Stato Vaticano's (2013) Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae with the number of open seminaries included in this Directory. According to Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae countries with the highest number of seminaries in South America are: Brazil (1,010 seminaries), Colombia (277 seminaries), and Peru (152 seminaries). Countries with the fewest number of seminaries are: Suriname (two seminaries) and Uruguay (seven seminaries). The Directory contains information on 756 seminaries in South America. This number includes 31 secondary schools, 468 philosophy and theology seminaries, and 257 seminaries for which there is not sufficient information to classify them in one of the two groups. 1 The numbers for ASE were derived from the 2013 edition. The numbers for DCS in the table here were calculated for comparison to the numbers from ASE. The numbers of “seminaries” for DCS in the table here are not equal to the number of “seminary records” in DCS for two reasons. First, one seminary record may, for example, describe a seminary which is classified as “seminary” and “residence” or “center for the diocesan clergy” and “center for the religious clergy” as understood by ASE and treated by ASE as separate seminaries. Second, DCS includes information about both open and closed seminaries. 3 Overall, the number of seminaries in the Directory amounts to 40 percent of the seminaries accounted for in the Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae. The discrepancies between Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae and the Directory should be given due consideration when using the Directory. For more detailed description of the methodology used in preparing the Directory please see Part I. 4 Contents Argentina ..................................................................................................................................... 6 Bolivia ....................................................................................................................................... 36 Brazil ......................................................................................................................................... 49 Chile ........................................................................................................................................ 207 Colombia ................................................................................................................................. 225 Ecuador.................................................................................................................................... 302 Paraguay .................................................................................................................................. 328 Peru.......................................................................................................................................... 332 Uruguay ................................................................................................................................... 388 Venezuela ................................................................................................................................ 391 5 Argentina Blessed Cura Brochero in Argentina Contact information: Rector: Pbro.
