Seminaries as necessary for religious and priestly formation are the locus where the whole training of the students should have as its object to make them true shepherds of souls after the example of our Lord Jesus Christ, teacher, priest and shepherd (OT4).

Part of the students’ integral formation, seminaries ensure their spiritual, human, intellectual and cultural formation. As seed-beds of vocations, seminaries offer the means to foster and verify the values constituting the seeds of vocation to young people with good attitudes and an initial desire of consecration proportional to their age (RI 311). Rogationist Seminaries are constituted by different houses of formation varying from one another according to the levels of formation. The initial formation of the candidates while studying philosophical courses is done in Fr. Hannibal Formation Center (Manila) for those coming from Luzon and in St. Hannibal Formation Center (Cebu) for those coming from Visayas and Mindanao. The Fr. Di Francia Center of Studies caters to all religious students who are studying their theological courses. Meanwhile, a Rogationist Senior Seminary accommodates all young professionals who would like to discern their vocation to the Rogationist religious and priestly life.
