ST PAULS NATIONAL MAJOR SEMINARY KINYAMASIKA, DAILY SEMINARY PROGRAMME
The saying goes, an Organization without a Time table or Programme to follow is like a Ship without a Rader and so it can lose sight and track. It is encouraged that all Seminarians should report 10 minutes before every activity commences.
