The total cost is $2,500. So far we have collected $915.00. If you wish to help please make donations payable to St. Aidan’s and mark your donation ‘St. Joseph’s Seminary.’

Saint Joseph Major Seminary forms seminarians from across Nigeria. Over 300 students study both philosophy and theology in preparation for priestly ordination. The seminary is most grateful to the good people of the United States who make seminary formation possible.
