As written in the 1992 revised edition of the
Holy Apostles Senior Seminary (HASS)
Norms of Community Living:
The program of formation
of HASS aims to bring about the integration of life and
vision of its seminarians, as persons and as Christians,
called late-in-life to a specific vocation and mission
of sharing in the priesthood of the Eternal High Priest,
Jesus Christ.
Its primary objective
is the development of the total person of the senior seminarian
in the physical (body); academic/intellectual (mind); psychosocial
(senses, feelings, imagination); moral – spiritual (spirit/will)
dimensions of his being.
To achieve this, the formation
program of the Holy Apostles Senior Seminary makes an earnest
effort to suit it to each individual’s (senior seminarian)
specific needs. It also hopes to build among the senior
seminarians a community in which the necessary support is
established to face the risks and struggles involved in
the task of forming new values and attitudes necessary for
their formation in the priesthood. This includes enhancing
their self-awareness and self-knowledge that will contribute
to their personal growth, spiritual advancement, intellectual
enrichment and pastoral development
VISION
Filipino diocesan priests called late in life, who
are Christ-like, Eucharistic and Marian, holy and prayerful,
integrated and committed, faithful and fraternal, sensitive
to the signs of the times and fully dedicated to the mission
of fostering the growth of the people of God entrusted to
them.
MISSION
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, moved by the love of the Father,
formed after the heart of Christ, through the intercession
of Mary, Queen and Mother of Apostles;
We, the seminarians
of the Holy Apostles Senior Seminary, fully commit ourselves
to a life of wholistic formation:
- grounded
in prayer, reflection and discernment of the Word of God,
imbued with docility and trust, honesty and integrity,
humility and simplicity, patience and perseverance, fidelity
and courage;
- geared towards a dynamic community characterized by obedience
and respect, compassion and support, generosity and total
availability, dialogue, participation and co-responsibility,
and enhanced by professionalism in our respective tasks,
critical consciousness of , and pastoral involvement in
the live realities of the Filipino people.
