Daham Sevana

WELCOME TO 'DAHAM SEVANA' PROPAEDEUTIC SEMINARY OF THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS (MONT EDEN) – Since 1980 – 41 years ago Mont Eden was placed under the affectionate love of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus as the intermediate seminary. For the past four decades, God has planned and guided generations of young men to discern will of God. We give praise and honour to our Lord, Master of the Harvest for this holy ground ‘Daham Sevana’ OUR MISSION To facilitate a serious, genuine and contemplative pause in the journey of life, to be still and to know(Ps. 46,10), …whether the initial call of God once heard is actually taking root, in order to commit oneself to be configured to the Lord in earnest discipleship, in view of Priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church. THE STORY OF DAHAM SEVANA PROPAEDEUTIC SEMINARY OF THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS “Daham Sevana” Propaedeutic Seminary of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, is a place that captures the essence of God’s beauty, serenity and Divinity. Surrounded by luscious green, situated on a hillock beside the beautiful and calm waters of river Kalu, it has been the haven for many seminarians, over the past two decades, who earnestly sought to comprehend the will of God for them, through a serious process of guided discernment and spiritual growth. As Saint Pope John Paul II correctly noted in ‘Pastores Dabo Vobis,’ a seminary should be a spiritual place, a way of life, an atmosphere that fosters and ensures a process of formation so that the person who is called to the priesthood by God may become, with the sacrament of orders, a living image of Jesus Christ, Head and Shepherd of the church (42). Daham Sevana indeed has been the ideal location for anyone aspiring to put aside all else, in order to know what God whispers in the sacred silence and solitude.
