Papal Decree 8/2025
Concerning the Theological Seminary in Diocese of Matrouh and Five Western Cities
In view of the establishment of the Diocese of Matrouh and the Five Western Cities, through the ordination of His Grace Bishop Karas as its bishop, and in light of the fact that a branch of the Theological Seminary has been operating there for nearly ten continuous years with discipline, order, and commitment, we have therefore decided to elevate it into an independent Theological Seminary, beginning with the academic year 2025/2026. This shall be placed under the supervision of the bishop of the diocese, with emphasis on fulfilling all necessary requirements to ensure the continued success of theological education.
Blessing rests upon the obedient son.
