Abstract. The education of candidates for the priesthood at the Major Seminary aims to produce priests who are qualified according to the expectations of the Church, namely serving God and others in total self-devotion. For this reason, priests voluntarily embrace celibacy. This choice is not without obstacles, therefore through spiritual formation in the seminary, prospective priests cultivate self-maturity to be able to live their sexual life correctly and healthily. This research aimed to explain the correlation of spiritual formation in seminary on the sexuality appreciation of prospective priests. The method used in this research was descriptive quantitative statistical analysis of 30 students at St. Mikhael Major Seminary Kupang. From this study it can be concluded that the longer the formation period, the higher the spiritual intelligence and healthy sexuality appreciation of the prospective priests.Abstrak.
