Daily Timetable
The daily timetable (or "horarium") governs the flow of seminary life, and helps the seminarians to develop an orderly pattern of life. Students are normally expected to be present for all the timetabled events.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
The students also arrange optionally to have periods of time at which the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for adoration.
- Monday, 3-4pm
- Tuesday, 7.45-8.45pm
- Thursday, 4-5pm
Recollection Weekends
Once a month there is a recollection weekend led by a guest retreat giver, involving a period of recollection running from Friday to Saturday evening. Such occasions of "desert" give a chance to step aside from the normal rhythms of life in order to listen more attentively to the voice of God.
