	St. John Mary Vianney Seminary Diocese of San Carlos Bishop's Home Compound San Carlos City, Negros Occidental 6127 Philippines

	HISTORY
	St John Vianney Seminary is located in the serene grounds of the Bishop's Residence in the tranquil City of San Carlos, Negros Occidental, Philippines The St. John Mary Vianney Seminary was born in response to the growing need of the Diocese of San Carlos for priests to minister to an estimated 800,000 faithful (from two Visayan cultures – Ilonggo and Cebuano). The St. John Mary Vianney Formation House was established in June 1992 with six pre-college seminarians. It was conceived to be a pre-college seminary preparing the seminarians of the diocese for college formation at the Sacred Heart Seminary in Bacolod City. In June 1993, the increase in vocations and the construction of simple structures for formation expanded the pre-college formation to college formation, thus giving birth to the St. John Mary Vianney Seminary. As the number of vocations increased it became necessary to expand the simple structures of the seminary which was built to accommodate only a few seminarians. A new building was eventually constructed in 1996. SJMVS now offers a course in Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy through a consortium with the College of Sta. Rita. Philosophy, Theology and English are taught while the rest of the electives and minor courses are taught at the College of Sta. Rita.
