Enrolment

St. Paul’s National Major Seminary is a Theological institution for priestly formation. Candidates who join this Seminary must have successfully completed their philosophical studies either from Katigondo or Alokolum National philosophical seminary. But in some cases, some students who have studied philosophy elsewhere are also admitted at the request of their respective Bishops.

As it is the recommendation of the Uganda Episcopal Conference (UEC), candidates who join the theological studies first do a pastoral spiritual year in their respective dioceses for one year before joining Kinyamasika seminary.
