In the past many foreign missionaries used to come to serve in Taiwan, but in recent years fewer have been coming, and we have not been training enough clergy within the ROC. To enter the priesthood, after graduating from senior high school one must study at a seminary for at least seven years.
因為以前有許多外籍傳教士來台灣服務，近年比較少了，加上國內的神職人員養成不易，若要成為一位神父，必須自高中畢業後，進神學院進修至少七年的時間，因此在人力銜接上，也有短絀的現象。
