About Us

Our seminary traces its earliest beginnings to the mission school attached to the Colegio de San Ildefonso, the residence of the Society of Jesus in Cebu and their central house for the Visayas missions. Although not specifically for the training of priests, the school provided an ideal place for native young boys to develop good character traits and learn the basics of the newly-planted Christian faith. Founded on 25 August 1595, the school officially closed on June 1, 1769 when the decree of King Charles III ordering the expulsion of the Jesuits from all Spanish territories issued a year earlier was implemented in our islands.
