St. Joseph and St. Peter Seminary

The Saint Joseph and Saint Peter Seminary is located on the banks of the Rio Grande River, only a mile away from Mexico. The Saint Joseph and Saint Peter Seminary is associated with the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio. With the patronage of His Excellency Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo and the Pontifical College Josephinum and under the direction of Bishop Raymundo J. Pena, this seminary reaches out to all seminarians who need special attention because of cultural singularities.

Our mission is to equip men, candidates for the Roman Catholic priesthood, to succeed in responding to the grace of God active in their lives. One thing is to respond to the call from God and another is to have the support and the skills needed to make this response a reality in our world today.

A diocesan need prompted us to begin this venture, and our solidarity with the Church moves us to open it to all dioceses with similar needs.

The grace of God builds on human nature. Our philosophy is to educate by affirmation and to encourage each seminarian by placing him in positions of success.

We deal with different age groups, different language needs, and different educational backgrounds. We can personalize our services to facilitate the growth of the individual person, the service to the People of God and the Glory of God.
