In November of 1852, the first students entered a Seminary in Rome which had been established by the Bishops of England and Wales for the training and formation of seminarians who were coming at a slightly later age, perhaps having already exercised ministry within other Christian communities. As we now enter our 170th year as a Seminary based in Rome, we are indeed grateful for the heritage which has been entrusted to us, and seek always to be part of a living tradition which adapts and equips its style and content to the needs of the Church in the modern world.
Thank you for your prayerful support of our work and for your interest in our College life. If you would like to become a member of the Beda Association - a group of ex-students , family and friends who pray together, meet together and offer material support to our Beda tradition - then please turn to the YOUR BEDA page on this website to see how you can play your part in our mission and ministry.

November 23
Year 1 have had a few days at Palazzola, for a period of recollection and reflection. The resouces for the weekend were the members of the group themselves and their experience – so far - of ‘being at seminary’. Everyone was savouring a first taste of the unique setting of the convento Pallazola. The group photo shows the Library as the convivial setting for the group meetings.Read More -

On Sunday 6 November the College gathered to give thanks for achievements of the previous academic year. All the teaching faculty – internal and external professors – met at 10.00 for one of their bi-annual meetings. This was followed by Mass at 11,30. At the end of mass individual students, who had received academic awards in June through St Mary’s University Twickenham, were congratulated by the Rector and received the warm appreciation of all. A joyful lunch ensued at 13.00. It was a beautiful day.Read More
