Our Mission

St. Michael's Old Catholic Seminary has one purpose - to train clergy
for the Old Catholic Church of North America. It is set up so that a man
or woman, married or single, called to the
priesthood in the Old
Catholic Tradition, may prepare for ministry without leaving his or her
home, employment, or local church.

To educate, examine, and otherwise prepare those who are called to
ministry in this non-residential form of study. Many are hearing the call
in mid-life, or even later, and can not leave home, employment and
family to attend a full-time, residential seminary. That is why St.
Michael's Old Catholic Seminary is here.

Accreditation

St. Michael's Old Catholic Seminary does not hold regional academic
accreditation. Our programs and degrees are theological, not secular
and academic. We wish to train
ordained ministers (Deacon and Priest)
of the Gospel, which is our primary mission and task.

St. Michael's Old Catholic Seminary is affiliated and underwritten by
the
Old Catholic Church of North America. The College of Bishops
authorizes the Board to issue
Theological Degrees to those students
whom the Faculty and Chancellor have approved and recommended.

Physical Location

The Seminary is located in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida. Most of the
work is done in MicroSoft Word on the computer.
Altar training is
conducted on the site in the Oratory of The Blessed Trinity or by the
Ordinary of the Diocese, who is the student's mentor.

Contact

All students must be interviewed by the Ordinary of the Diocese and
have police background checks before starting studies. If you are
