Sevilla participates in national meeting of rectors and formators of major seminaries

Representatives from the Seville Seminary and the Redemptoris Mater Seminary attended a national meeting for rectors and formators of major seminaries organized by the Spanish Episcopal Conference this October.

The meeting focused on studying the Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis, a document approved by the Holy See's Congregation for the Clergy to guide the formation of future priests, ten years after its publication. Participants discussed the unity of the formation process, vocational discernment, and the affective maturity of candidates for the priesthood.

The Seville delegation included Andrés Ybarra, Antonio Jesús Rodríguez Báez, and Manuel Jiménez Carreira. Antonio Escribano, rector of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary, also attended. Rodríguez Báez described the weekend as an intense period involving presentations, working groups, prayer, the Eucharist, and cultural activities.
