Pacific Regional Seminary of St Peter Chanel, Suva

 

In 1970, the Bishops' Conference of the Pacific (CEPAC) decided to establish a Seminary in Suva to cater for candidates to the Priesthood in the eastern Pacific.   The Seminary was formally set up in 1972 with 18 students,  and moved to its present site on Queen Elizabeth Drive near Suva Point in June 1973. Since that time,  the number of students has continued to increase, and, in the year 2000, there was an enrolment of 142 students Of these,  66 are students for Diocesan Priesthood,   76 for various

Religious Orders and Congregations.   These students are from Fiji, Bangladesh, the Caroline Islands, Kiribati, New Caledonia,  Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Wallis-Futuna, Samoa and Vanuatu.  At present, two Vincentians are on the lecturing staff of the Seminary.
