General Religious Education Within the United Roman-Ruthenian Church, the Prefecture of Education holds primary responsibility for imparting general education in religion. Through comprehensive curriculum and specialized learning material, individuals are provided with a deeper understanding of their faith, allowing them to grow spiritually and enrich their connection to their faith. Seminary Training for Clergy The clergy's seminary training directly assigned within the Diocese and Catholicate of Rome-Ruthenia is under the general authority of the Prefecture of Education. It ensures that future religious leaders receive comprehensive theological education, pastoral training, and guidance necessary to serve their ministries effectively. At present, the principal seminary for the Diocese and Catholicate of Rome-Ruthenia is its historic seminary founded in 1987, Pontifical Georgian College (originally based in San Antonio, Texas, USA, and known as the St. George Theological Seminary). By providing an environment conducive to learning and growth, the Prefecture helps to ensure that aspiring clergy members are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to fulfill their sacred responsibilities.
