Greetings from the Rector

Welcome to the website of the Venerable English College in Rome, a seminary founded in 1579 for the training of Catholic priests to serve on the mission in England and Wales. At present there are 25 seminarians and 10 priests studying here, sent by their respective bishops. We invite all our friends to keep our students in their prayers.
