FORMATION


Formation in the Beda is a rigorous process.
A person who wishes to be considered for the priesthood has been through a selection process, which is carried out by the diocese to which he applies.

Each student at the Beda is supported in his training by his diocesan bishop or religious superior and vocations director, as well as by the College formation and teaching staff.

A student cannot train for the priesthood without the agreement and support of his diocesan bishop. Discernment of a student's suitability for the ordained ministry is carried out in the light of the Church's teaching, especially as contained in the document Pastores Dabo Vobis.

“May your training prosper!
Under the protection of St Paul & St Bede
you will be formed for the ministry of tomorrow.”
