How Does it Work?

Applicants are evaluated on an individual basis. Prospective students must be practicing Catholics and have an interest in the work of the TFP. The standards for Sedes Sapientiae Institute students are high. To join the Institute, you must be willing to follow a demanding daily schedule, a set of house rules, and strive to develop a life of prayer and action.

"Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams. Let there be few words and many deeds, and let them be well done."
-- Saint Vincent Pallotti

The American TFP provides room and board to all Sedes Sapientiae Institute students at its Spring Grove, Pennsylvania headquarters, free of charge.

It is recommended that prospective students spend two weeks on the TFP's campus for evaluation prior to registration. If you are interested, please contact Mr. John Ritchie at phone (717) 225-7147 ext. 229, or by mail at:
