Home / The Motto: Pastores Dabo Vobis
Pastores Dabo Vobis has been adopted as the motto of the PAROC. The dictum has been inspired by the motto of the mother institute, Marymatha Major Seminary. Excerpted from a well-known Jeremiahn text, “Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding” (Jer. 3, 15), the motto of the institute expresses its vision and mission: While the seminary focuses on the formation of the candidates for the priesthood, the PAROC functions from a research perspective, aiming at the formation of lay-religious-clergy leaders.
