The Pontifical Beda College

In November of 1852, the first students entered a Seminary in Rome which had been established by the Bishops of England and Wales for the training and formation of seminarians who were coming at a slightly later age, perhaps having already exercised ministry within other Christian communities.

As we now enter our 170^th year as a Seminary based in Rome, we are indeed grateful for the heritage that has been entrusted to us and seek always to be part of a living tradition that adapts and equips its style and content to the needs of the Church in the modern world.
 

Thank you for your prayerful support of our work and for your interest in our College life. If you would like to become a member of the  Beda Association  - a group of ex-students, family and friends who pray together, meet together and offer material support to our Beda tradition - kindly turn to the Your Beda page on this website to see how you can play your part in our mission and ministry.
