Greetings from the Rector

Welcome to the website of the Venerable English College in Rome, a seminary founded in 1579 for the training of Catholic priests to serve on the mission in England and Wales. At present there are 21 seminarians and 4 priests in formation here, including a number from outside England and Wales. We invite all our friends to keep our seminarians in their prayers.
