This Spirituality Year is held at Mary Immaculate Seminary in Northampton, Pennsylvania in a community of seminarians from various dioceses. Each day emphasizes liturgical prayer, times of quiet reflection and personal prayer. The program includes daily conferences on the basics of spirituality, liturgy, priesthood, and other topics related to human and spiritual development. The year offers an opportunity for deeper spiritual reflection and on-going serious spiritual direction. Four different types of retreat are conducted in the course of the year.
Fraternal charity is emphasized and lived within the house.
Pastoral charity is realized in apostolic assignments in the local area one day a week. The daily celebration of the Mass is the center of all seminary and priestly spirituality. The active participation of each seminarian is essential, and each participates according to the ministry and order he has received. Morning and Evening Prayer are prayed in chapel by the community and are led by the seminarians. The praying of the other hours privately or in small groups is fostered.
