How old do I have to be to enter seminary?

How do I apply?

What if I am not ready for seminary, but I want to continue discerning while at college?

There is a group of young men doing just that.  They are part of a College-Affiliate Program where they continue their studies at the college of their choice, but remain connected with other young men from the Diocese of Syracuse who are discerning priesthood by making retreats and being part of days of reflection during Christmas and Summer breaks.  Contact Fr. O'Connor for more information.
