Message from the Dean

Pe. Nuno Santos

Priest Nuno Santos, Dean of The Major Seminary of Coimbra

The Major Seminary of Coimbra is very pleased to welcome everyone. In this house you can rest and make an urban 'break'; you can pray and feel the silence; you can celebrate the Eucharist and the sacrament of reconciliation; you can contemplate nature and enter libraries full of spirituality; you can let yourself be touched by art and music; you can visit 250 years of history and the presence of Italian art.

In this house you can especially find inner serenity, discover your vocation, strengthen the fullest meaning for your life and be elevated by the sacred - which has always lived in us.

Earn courage and knock on the door, ring the bell, call us or send us an email ...
