Each seminarian works on all four pillars simultaneously and the goal of every seminarian is to keep each of these four areas of formation in balance. It may seem like a daunting task, but you have advisors that help you get through the process. Back to top. Will I be treated like a “20 something” in the seminary? Certainly not at Sacred Heart!
