AGAPE SEMINARY
A Seminary for the Old Catholic Church
An Old Catholic Church Seminary dedicated to the preparation of students for Ordination.
Operated by the Independent Catholic Church of the Americas, Inc. (IOCCA)
Why Agape Seminary?
Our programs are centered in sound traditional Catholic Theology, not Roman Catholic, and as such are of the historical Early Church tradition. One can commence studies in their own home, and go at your own pace.
Some take a full year, others a few months. Our examinations are open book, and where you are unsuccessful we will work with you until you graduate. We are trans-denominational in that we welcome all students, men and women, although our courses are of most interest to Old Catholic, Independent Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican. We maintain a separate division for those interested in Anglican Studies - request the special program for Anglicans.
The Priesthood
Many feel the call to the
Priesthood but feel the only option is full time parish ministry, with many
years of Seminary training. There is another, and urgent, need for Priests to
work as self-supporting (as was St Paul) in hospital visiting, pastoral
counseling, youth work, senior residences, and even as worker priests on the
job. There is a calling for senior men and women to work in their local area,
and we welcome retired persons who may wish to apply their senior years to the
service of the Lord. We invite you to consider our programs.
