The first partpresents the personal structure of the Seminar. Based on the cited data, it turnedout that the most variable element of the seminar structure is the decreasingnumber of alumni. The team of formators and the group of lecturers, whichalso underwent modifications, constituted a relatively stable construct. Thesecond part deals with the means and ways of implementing the formationprinciples in force at the Higher Theological Seminary in Ełk. These principleswere included in the formation document for the seminaries of the Church inPoland (1999). Each of the four dimensions of formation (human, spiritual,intellectual, pastoral) was governed by its own rules. Based on the study, itshould be said that to a greater or lesser extent all of them were taken into ac-count in the process of shaping vocations in the Ełk Seminary. The basic waysand means of their implementation are included in the Regulations and theStatute of the seminar. In addition, their shape was determined by the experi-ence from previous years of the Seminarʼs operation, guidelines and proposalsof teams responsible for formation associating rectors, spiritual fathers or pre-fects, the specificity of the events experienced and the conditions of the localChurch.
