Christ the King SeminaryThe mission of Christ the King Seminary is to educate candidates for ordained priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church and individuals pursuing either a graduate theological or ministerial education. It's resources are available to a broad range of constituents for activities such as the Permanent Diaconate Program, retreats, study days, convocations, prayer and support groups, parochial and diocesan groups.
Founded in 1857, today Christ the King Seminary is sponsored by the Diocese of Buffalo and served by a faculty of diocesan and religious clergy, women religious and laity. The Seminary is governed by a Board of Trustees and is chartered by the Education Department of the State University of New York, and accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. The Seminary’s Program of Priestly Formation is governed by ecclesiastical principals and guidelines determined by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Candidates for ministerial priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church are admitted to the program under the sponsorship of a bishop. The program provides the candidate with personal and spiritual formation and an educational experience in the theological disciplines, so that he will be well-equipped for that particular integrity of life and service that the Roman Catholic Church expects of its ministerial priests.
