Holy Seminary

The Holy Spirit Seminary was formerly known as the South China General Academy (1931 to 1964). The General Seminary was built to cultivate clergy of nationalities in the South China region and allow them to serve their dioceses after the Jin Dynasty. South China includes Shaoguan, Wuzhou, Guangzhou, Jiangmen, Jiaying, Shantou, Tingzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Jianning, Funing, Beihai, Qiongxian and Hong Kong.

However, with the exception of Hong Kong, the aforementioned dioceses have not sent monks to be nurtured since 1964 due to environmental changes. As a result, the Ministry of Communication dismissed the General Seminary and handed over the location of the Seminary to the Diocese of Hong Kong. That year, the Diocese of Hong Kong opened the Diocese of the Diocese, which is now the Holy Divine Seminary, and implemented the second Vatican Council's Conference. The monks and clergy should receive instructions in their area of cultivation. ^[1]

The Holy Spirit Seminary Theological and Philosophical Academy is an academic center dedicated to the study of theological philosophy. It consists of three different departments: theology, philosophy and religion. The primary purpose of the academy is to teach philosophy and theology to those with aspiring priesthood. Secondly, in order to meet the needs of the development of local churches, lay believers were trained in divine philosophy. ^[1]
