Within the &#13;\nacademic, human and spiritual formation of these seminaries, there &#13;\nis a period of missionary evangelization, and once ordained &#13;\npriests &#8211; after a few years of working in parishes &#8211; the &#13;\ndiocesan bishop may allow them to leave the diocese to serve in the various &#13;\nmission modalities carried out by the Neocatechumenal Way, according to &#13;\nwhat is established and approved by the Vatican in the Statutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seminary is erected by the bishop &#13;\nof the diocese and welcomes young men who have discovered the vocation thanks to &#13;\nthe neocatechumenal itinerary of Christian initiation. In the seminary, the &#13;\nChristian formation through the Neocatechumenal Way in a community is &#13;\na distinct and basic element of the formation course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the years following, numerous bishops have followed the example of the Holy Father by opening other seminaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 1990, the year of the first &#13;\nordinations, up until today, the priests ordained in these &#13;\nRedemptoris Mater seminaries are about 2,380. Currently, there are 2,300&#13;\n young men that are preparing for the sacred ordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Vwh85cYpDiY\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diocesan-missionary Seminaries Redemptoris Mater On the 26th of &#13; August,1986, St. John Paul II enthusiastically welcomed the proposal of &#13; Kiko, Carmen and Father Mario to institute a Diocesan Missionary seminary in Rome &#13; for the formation of priests for the New &#13; Evangelization and commissioned Cardinal Ugo Poletti, Vicar of His &#13; Holiness, to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":1213,"template":"","meta":{"_hide_header":false,"_hide_footer":false,"_nck_seo_title":"","_nck_seo_description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2797","evangelizacion","type-evangelizacion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evangelizacion\/2797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evangelizacion"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/evangelizacion"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/144"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evangelizacion\/2797\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22735,"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evangelizacion\/2797\/revisions\/22735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
