The Rector of the Holy Spirit Seminary in Dhaka, Bangaldesh, Fr. Emmanuel Rozario, has informed us that the construction project of the new Theology Wing has been completed. The donors of the PIME Mission Center provided financial support for equipment and furniture for the new Theology Wing, for which he is grateful. Your donations allowed for the procurement of 76 doors, 122 windows, electrical goods and furniture (51 chair & table sets and 51 beds) for the new wing. Your support of the project has created livable, usable facilities to accommodate more seminarians and lay leaders in the growth of the Church in Bangladesh.
The Catholic Bishop's Conference of Bangladesh started the National Major Seminary in Mathis House at Notre Dame College on August 23, 1973. The National Major Seminary was transferred to its own premises at Banani, Dhaka, on August 17, 1976. While celebrating its Silver Jubilee in 1999, the name of the National Major Seminary was changed to Holy Spirit Major Seminary. A total of 345 priests have received their formation from the Holy Spirit Major Seminary as of January 2017. The new wing will enable the Seminary to accommodate more seminarians for their formation to the priesthood.
