Back to the Seminary

| Richard Rosete

The St. Anthony Mary Claret College is a philosophical institution founded by the Claretian Missionaries intended for priestly formation of the seminarians especially the Claretians but, they opened their doors to other congregations such as Xaverian Missionaries, Alagad ni Maria, Sons of the Divine Providence and so on. This school year 2018- 2019, The Saint Anthony Mary Claret college opened the Academic year by welcoming again the seminarians from different congregations. The College started the classes last January 14, 2019, these make the students from different congregations excited to meet again their friends and teachers, after a long Christmas Vacation.

Some of the students are busy in finalizing their Thesis, assignments and other requirements because of the remaining subjects they have, most especially the graduating students.  Fr. Jonathan A. Bitoy, CMF the dean of the College, welcomed all the students for this second semester. In his message during the orientation, he encourages everyone to start the year by doing everything that is asked from the students especially the fourth years to submit their requirements for Thesis writing so that they can go on with their other school activities without any worries. The dean is hoping that the First-Year students who are now in their second semester must already feel that they are at home and have imbibed and adjusted some of the educational philosophy of the college so that they can deepen it and put it into practice for the years to come. 

The Xaverian seminarians of the Philippines who are studying in Saint Anthony Mary Claret College are happy and full of hope for this semester, they are also doing their best to meet the requirements of the College and of the Xaverian congregation. As of now, there are four first-year students and four graduating students studying in this institution.
