The Sulpicians, formally known as the Society of Saint Sulpice, are a Roman Catholic religious order founded in the 17th century in France. Their primary mission is to educate and train priests, focusing on spiritual formation and pastoral care. They emphasize the importance of community life and prayer in their educational approach. The Sulpicians have played a significant role in the development of seminaries, particularly in North America. They established several seminaries, including the Saint-Sulpice Seminary in Montreal, which became a model for priestly education. Their influence continues in the training of clergy and the promotion of spiritual growth within the Church.
