At present, a number of Australian seminarians are enrolled in the Seminary Division, and several priests of non-United States nationality are resident at the Casa Santa Maria or are enrolled in the college's continuing formation program.

Human, pastoral, and spiritual formation is provided by the faculty of the college.
