Who We Are
The Seminary of Saints Peter & Paul is a regional seminary that trains candidates for the Roman Catholic Priesthood. The formation programme includes studies in Philosophy and Theology.
As a regional seminary, Great Bodija, as it is called by those who in one way or another have experienced her products, caters for the training needs of the Ecclesiastical Provinces of Lagos, Ibadan and Benin City.
However, the seminary also serves the training need of dioceses and congregations outside the aforementioned provinces upon request by local ordinaries or superiors who wish their candidates journey with and through us.
Vision
The vision of the Formation Team is to train priests whose relevance to contemporary society will be apparent through the service they render. To do this effectively, a serene environment is provided for the nurturing of the inner growth of young men seeking holiness and the development of their intellect, talents and skills.
Mission
The Mission of Saints Peter and Paul Major Seminary is the formation of men for sacred ministry in the celibate priesthood. The Seminary aims at training young men in priestly virtues and in the acquisition of such knowledge as requisite for the salvation of souls and the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
