Functioning of Theology College
Our seminarians attend the classes in the Capuchin Seminary which is 3 kilometers
away from our house. They go by bicycle every day to the college. As we have no four wheelers
all the seminarians have to go to the college by cycle. At present we have 34 Theology and
Philosophy Brothers
