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.
