The Archdiocese of Montreal\u2019s Grand S\u00e9minaire (GSAM) is pleased to announce the launch of its new website: https:\/\/gsam-montreal.org\/<\/a>
\nEstablished about a year ago in the popular neighbourhood of Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie in the parish of Saint-Ars\u00e8ne, the Grand S\u00e9minaire developed its new website as a communication tool to reflect its values of renewal, openness and accessibility.
\n
\n“The Archdiocese of Montreal\u2019s Grand S\u00e9minaire is vital to the life of our Christian community. It trains the missionary disciples who go out into the field and engage with today\u2019s challenges, who listen to their parishioners and re-open the dialogue with them,” says Archbishop Christian L\u00e9pine of Montreal.
\n
\n“Housed in a building with a familial character, this home base enables our priests-in-training to become closer to the people who live in the area, and to take part in the varied activities of daily life. It helps to ground their training in a human dimension, in addition to the spiritual, pastoral and intellectual aspects. Our website is a good reflection of these several dimensions and of our new environms,” says the Rector of the Archdiocese of Montreal\u2019s Grand S\u00e9minaire, Father Guy Guindon, PSS.
\n
\nThe launch was attended by the Archbishop of Montreal Christian L\u00e9pine and the Rector of the Grand S\u00e9minaire of the Archdiocese of Montreal, Father Guy Guindon, PSS.

\n
\nSince 1840, the primary mission of the Grand S\u00e9minaire of the Archdiocese of Montreal has been the training of priests with a deep connection to Jesus Christ. The year 2020 was characterized by a sense of renewal in the story of the Grand S\u00e9minaire, which now offers updated theoretical and practical training adapted to the challenges of today’s realities. The training program has also been enhanced through a collaborative agreement with Universit\u00e9 Laval\u2019s Faculty of Theology and Religious Sciences.

\nThrough its partnership with Universit\u00e9 Laval\u2019s Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, the GSAM is opening up registration in these study programs to religious, laypersons and future permanent deacons of the Archdiocese of Montreal and other interested dioceses. The courses are given by associate professors of the Grand S\u00e9minaire of the Archdiocese of Montreal as well as professors of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies at Universit\u00e9 Laval, in-person, remote or in hybrid mode, as the case may be.
