On The Rome Experience, seminarians deepen their habits of mental prayer, construct a spiritual plan of life, and delve into the lives of the saints and the history of the Church in Rome.

Through The Rome Experience Scholarship Fund, we aim to make this program possible for seminarians from any diocese in the United States who desire this formation experience. We are so grateful for your assistance.

Donors and their intentions are remembered at our annual Mass celebrated at the tomb of St. Peter in the Vatican Crypt.
