Physical Location & Buildings

The Blessed Paul Gojdich Seminary is the seminary of studies for the Archeparchy of Presov, and the Eparshies of Kosice and Bratislava in Sloakia.  It houses approximately 80 students and staff.  The main building includes the refectory, class rooms and sleeping rooms for seminarians and faculty. An adjacent building is used for visitors and has apartments for married clergy faculty. 


Program of Studies

The program of studies at the Gojdich includes basic theology of the Byzantine Catholic Church, along with a wide range of courses in scripture, liturgy, spirituality, homiletics, chant, and other topics to prepare young men for the priesthood.  The full program includes seven years of study along with various pastoral assignments.  The seminarians also support special events that take place during the year through the Metropolitan Church of Slovakia.


Seminary Life

The daily schedule of activities at the Gojdich Seminary includes celebration of the Daily Office, academic classes, meal preparation and service, and personal prayer and spiritual development.  Many seminarians plan to serve as married priests and therefore dating and other activities with young women are included in their formation.  Student rooms usually house 2-3 seminarians and so communal living and interpersonal relationships are all part of the development of future priests.
