Welcome to Sacred Heart Seminary
Welcome to Sacred Heart Seminary
Welcome to Sacred Heart Seminary, Poonamallee, Chennai 600 056, which is an ancient spiritual sanctuary engaged in the ministry of formation of priests since 8 September 1936. This seminary is the fruit of the extraordinary vision of her Founder, Msgr Louis Mathias, SDB, the late Archbishop of Madras-Mylapore.
In the past 82 years, the seminary has gifted more than one thousand five hundred priests and twenty bishops to the Church, who are engaged effectively in pastoral ministry all over the world.
All of us who are baptized into Christ participate in his priesthood. However, there is an inner urge in all of us to have a priest in our own family. We, at the seminary, provide you with an opportunity to adopt a seminarian as your Spiritual Son, which would fulfill this need for a priest in your family.
You can accomplish your dream by participating in the Sponsorship Programme, which is an excellent expression of your love for the Church, and your caring attitude towards priests.
Your financial contribution would be put to good use for training programmes, regular maintenance of the seminary, renovation projects, and the cause of the poor in the neighbourhood.
Your contribution has a magical touch of creating “Ripples of Hope” in the lives of many seminarians.
