Our Mission
St. Patrick’s Seminary & University is a Catholic educational community that forms priests of Jesus Christ who is teacher, priest, and shepherd.
Our Vision
St. Patrick’s Seminary & University seeks to serve the Roman Catholic Church in the ministerial context of the Pacific Region of the United States by forming priests whose lives are configured to the sacrifice of Jesus, rooted in His Word and Sacrament, and dedicated to serve the people of God with the pastoral charity of Christ.
Our Core Values
Our Core Values flow from the four dimensions of priestly formation and our Mission Statement, which presents Jesus Christ as Priest, Teacher, and Shepherd. Thus, of the seven values, the first is overarching, integrating all the values, and then of the remaining six, two correspond to each of these three Christological dimensions. The core values are: Spiritual Fatherhood; Fidelity; Holiness; Wisdom; Evangelization; Resiliency; Compassion.
