Statement of Educational Effectiveness (UPDATED 6/1/2026)
The Division for Priestly Formation of Saint John Vianney admits only students sponsored for priestly formation by a diocese or religious institute, its rate of placement immediately after graduation and ordination is nearly 100%. In rare cases, there may be a delay between graduation and ordination to the priesthood. Continuation in the Seminary’s programs is dependent on this sponsorship as well as the individual student’s ongoing commitment to seek ordination, reasons for departures during formation are handled with discretion. To date, 230 men have earned the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree from the Seminary.
