Summary/Abstract: Starting from a short analysis of the foundation of a vocation, particularly of the vocation to priesthood, the Author presents four areas of formation of young people before entering the priestly seminary: the human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral areas of formation; and the measure of the realization of the mentioned areas. Subsequently he presents the places and milieux of this formation, especially the minor seminaries and some other ways of realization of the propaedeutic period. Finally he returns to the very essence of the priestly vocation: the building of a specific way of life.
