Priesterseminar Paderborn im Porträt: Priester im Wandel der Zeit

The Paderborn Seminary looks back on a long history. Nearly 250 years old, it remains the place in the Archdiocese of Paderborn where future priests are trained. The Paderborn Seminary – a firmly established institution that constantly faces the challenge of recognizing the signs of the times and acting accordingly. What is life like at the seminary? What does it take to become a priest? And how does the Paderborn Seminary address the fact that fewer and fewer people see faith in God as the anchor in their lives? The seminary in the 21st century – much has changed since its beginnings. The number of young men who want to become priests is dwindling. Life in community is different than it was decades ago.
