FSSP Priesthood

How long does it take for a man (w/ a grad degree) to be ordained in the FSSP?

 

[malphono]

Whether FSSP or otherwise, it would depend. For one thing, what field is the grad degree in? For another, there are certain prerequisites that would have to be satisfied irrespective of the degree itself. It would also, of course, depend on whether the candidate is accepted, and again, that irrespective of a graduate degree. All of that said, IMO an anonymous internet forum really isn’t the place for such a question. Best, I think, to present the details to the FSSP vocations director and see what he has to say.

Seminary for the FSSP is formation, so they don’t really use your grad degree. You’re still looking at 7 years in seminary.

Here is what the FSSP has to say regarding prior credit.

Will I receive credit at OLGS for Philosophy or Theology courses taken at other institutions?

It is possible that some credit may be given. However, we expect seminarians to go through the entire seven year program at OLGS since the program is much more than academic. Seminarians are given pastoral, spiritual, intellectual, and human formation and we have found that it generally takes seven years for this to be most effective. Therefore do not expect to skip ahead in the program if you have taken Philosophy or Theology elsewhere.
