Summary/Abstract: This article is dedicated to the establishment of the Diocesan Seminary in Đakovo which celebrates its 200th anniversary (1806 – 2006). While after the Council of Trent (1545 – 1563) seminaries were being established in other parts of Europe, all the way from Rome to Zagreb, our two dioceses, those of Đakovo and Srijem, were in the authentic state of slavery. After Slavonia and Srijem had been liberated from the Turks, Catholic Church began to restore both spiritually and materially. Soon the Diocese of Bosnia and the Diocese of Srijem were united (1773), so the requirements of the Decree issued by the Council of Trent, according to which each diocese should have its own seminary, were finally fulfilled. The author stars with the beginnings of the Church, portraying its care for the formation of priests to be, providing the basic characteristics of the catechetic, parish, monastery, diocesan and archdiocesan schools.
