St.
Michael's Theological College (formerly St.
Michael's Seminary) is an institution of
higher education dedicated to excellence in
theological and scriptural studies leading
to personal, ethical and spiritual
formation. It is an affiliated
institution of the University of the West
Indies (UWI) and a member oft he Caribbean
Association of Theological Schools (CATS).
For more than forty years St.
Michael’s Theological College (formerly St.
Michael’s Seminary) was primarily
commissioned to train Jamaican Priests.
Since 1996, when the seminarians were
transferred to the Regional Seminary of St.
John Vianney and the Ugandan Martyrs in
Trinidad, the main focus has shifted to the
theological education and pastoral training
of the laity. The significance of this
present direction is certainly borne out in
the Second Vatican Council’s emphasis on the
vital importance of the laity’s role in
the life and building up of the Church.
St. Michael’s remains
steadfast in its commitment to facilitate
the spread of the Gospel of Christ in accord
with the Roman Catholic tradition through
dedicated pursuit of Truth and Justice that
informs right relationships and is realised
in the ordering of society for the benefit
and full flourishing of all.
