What We Do
Casiciaco Recoletos Seminary is a formation house for Aspirancy and Postulancy of the Order of Augustinian Recollects–Province of St. Ezekiel Moreno (Philippines). The candidates receive their Spiritual, Missionary or Pastoral, Intellectual, Human and Psycho-emotional, and Social and Community formation in this place by following the Order’s tripartite formation principle of bene orare (to pray well), bene vivere (to live well), and bene studere (to study well). The main concern of this stage of formation is the academic–spiritual formation of the candidates who come from different regions of the country.
