The Diocese of Wichita will soon be home to a new seminary, the culmination of a years-long effort to bring priestly formation to the area amid a rising number of seminarians.
“The days are numbered for the Catholic Diocese of Wichita’s St Joseph House of Formation, but only because it is about to be replaced by St Philip Neri Seminary,” said an August 6 statement from the diocese.
St Philip Neri Seminary will open on August 26 and will serve the dioceses of Wichita, Salina and Dodge City, three of the four dioceses in Kansas.
