Saint Michael’s Old Catholic Seminary

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

those 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 a long distance learning seminary.

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.

Long Distance Learning:

The Seminary is located on line and currently, the Academic Dean- Bishop Fisher and

Father Michael Shell are conducting the courses. Most of the

work is done in MicroSoft Word on the computer. Practicums for Altar training

and Sacrament Administration is arranged and approved by the Academic Dean.
