While receiving seminarians from the Major Seminary of “Our Lady of the Apostles” in Getafe (Spain) in the Vatican on August 3, Pope Francis expressed what God and the Catholic Church expects from priests, and he recalled ” four basic elements” in their training. .

​​​​The Holy Father received in the audience around 8:00 am (local time) the seminarians, who came with the Bishop of Getafe, Mons Ginés García Beltrán, and his Auxiliary Bishop, Mons. They were joined by the seminary’s rector and trainers, who are currently training more than 30 young people.

In a video message broadcast on August 2, Bishop Ginés García Beltrán made sure that they arrived in Rome “with an open heart to listen to what the Pope wants to tell us, the suggestions the Pope wants to give us, but above all to serve. with him and to be able to reaffirm our filial obedience, to be able to reiterate our union with him and our need to work together with the whole Church.”

The seminarians, as the Holy Father pointed out at the beginning of today’s meeting, visited Rome on a pilgrimage to the tomb of the apostles Peter and Paul, within the framework of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Major Seminary “A Our Lady of the Apostles.”

Although it was originally created in 1992, a year after the Diocese of Getafe – suffragan of the Archdiocese of Madrid – was erected, the seminary moved in October 1994 to its current location, in Cerro de los Ángeles, where it is also located as the Monument to the Sacred Heart and the hermitage of Our Lady of the Angels.

The place, which Pope Francis highlighted today, is traditionally considered to be the geographical center of the Iberian Peninsula.”
