Seminarians for A Culture of Life

As an organization, we strive to foster a greater love and respect for a culture of life in the hearts and minds of seminarians and through seminary formation. We do so by developing a firm foundation of prayer, education on life issues, and action in order to spread and build a culture where all life, from conception to natural death, is protected, respected, and loved. We recognize that as future pastors of souls we will be tasked with the mission and responsibility of bringing truth, through love, to our flock especially the task of spreading the Gospel of Life. This is achieved by uniting seminarians, and those affiliated with them, through the establishment of seminary chapter groups. Seminarians for a Culture of Life strives to form partnerships and build relationships with the many trusted organizations that provide resources to help advocate for a culture of life. We strive to plant the seed of love for life in the hearts and minds of all that encounter Seminarians for a Culture of Life.

Seminarians for a Culture of Life is the first organization of its kind. This organization is directly aimed at seminarians and seminaries. There are many great groups throughout the nation that have apostolates for seminarians which provide outstanding resources, but none of those focus their ministry primarily on seminarians. It is important, especially in our efforts to build a culture of life, to belong to something greater than just a seminary interest group. Therefore, we unite ourselves under the banner of Seminarians for a Culture of Life. Through Seminarians for a Culture of Life, we develop sound and productive relationships with episcopal conferences, seminaries, and culture of life organizations.
