The Seminary of St. John Vianney, Tunapuna

Description

Founded in 1943 by Most Rev. Finbar Ryan, O.P., then Archbishop of Port-of Spain, as a diocesan seminary to prepare priests to serve in his archdiocese. Situated on the grounds of the Benedictine Abbey of Mt. St. Benedict in Tunapuna, Trinidad, and administered for almost thirty years by monks of that Abbey, the seminary was adopted in 1970 by the Antilles Episcopal Conference (AEC) and became the Regional Seminary to prepare priests to serve in the various dioceses of that conference. In the AEC General Meeting 2010 in Grenada it was decided that the Regional Seminary should be placed under the full and total jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Port of Spain and thereby reverted to a local diocesan Seminary.
