Presently
three programs are offered at St. John Fisher Seminary
Residence:
Fisher
Pre-Theology Program:
A one- to two-year program
for students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree
from an accredited college or university. The
program is a pre-requisite
mandated by the bishops of the United States to prepare
students for the study of theology. It consists
of up to four semesters, accredited
by St. John’s University in New York, with a concentration
in philosophy, while also studying theology, Greek and
Latin. This period of study, which is combined with daily
Mass, regular prayer,
spiritual direction and discernment conferences, affords
the student the opportunity for reflection on the Lord’s call
to the priesthood. It also contains a component of pastoral
work in which the student
spends a portion of his week assisting in a local parish
getting to know the priests and people of the Diocese
of Bridgeport. Click here for more information about
our Pre-Theology program.

A complete seminary formation
program for young men who reside and take selected
courses at St. John Fisher Seminary Residence,
while pursuing their college
degree
at Fordham University, Bronx, NY, or Sacred Heart University
in Fairfield, CT.
Summer
Intensive Program:
A program for young men,
both graduate and undergraduate, who receive spiritual
formation and philosophy/theology
training through an intensive summer experience at
