The reports highlighted the Human, Spiritual, Intellectual and pastoral formation of seminarians, as the seminaries strive to ensure that seminarians imbibe the mind of Jesus Christ and acquire virtues that are relevant to the priestly ministry and the salvation of souls.

They lauded the formators for the work of discernment carried out with commitment and urged them to remain steadfast in their efforts in guiding the seminarians who have committed themselves to answer to the call of God.
The goal of seminary formation it is worth noting, is to raise up men to be virtuous leaders, humble servants, and devout men of prayer who are eager to give their lives fully to Christ and His Church.
Joining the Bishops for this meeting were Rectors and Vice Rectors of the Major Seminaries in Mamfe, and Bamenda.
