On June 19, 1946, the Archdiocese of Jaro (Elevated; 1951) had again a modern and excellent Seminary for the proper training of its future priests. The seminary had known a good number of changes of great importance. In 1957, the Seminary became "de facto" a regional major seminary when the bishops of the suffragan dioceses of Bacolod (1946), Capiz (1957), Antique (1963) and even the Prelature of Palawan enrolled their major seminarians in this seminary. The number of seminarians had broken all the previous records, introducing new subjects and adding new courses and had updated the plan of studies. The department of Latin and philosophy had come under government recognition. In 1958, the St. Vincent Ferrer Seminary obtained government recognition of its studies of philosophy and power to grant the bachelor of arts degree. Don Teodoro Benedicto, Don Joaquin Ledesma, and Dona Pilar Ledesma, were the benefactors of the seminary, among others. The seminary personnel- Bro. Marcos "Tio Mankoy" Frondoso the great guardian, Mr. Florencio "Chef" Tubola, among others – who have spent most of their lives in the service of the seminary fathers and the seminarians. The Saint Vincent Ferrer Seminary takes pride in having produced distinguished clergymen like the Most Rev. Gabriel Reyes, D.D., the first Filipino Archbishop of Manila and Jaime Cardinal Sin who also became the Archbishop of Manila and had inspired the People Power Revolution at EDSA that set off a wave of democratization movements that spread to Taiwan and South Korea and even fell the Berlin wall and ended Communist rule in Eastern Europe. It also helped inspire the Arab Spring in 2011., and Archbishop Jose S. Palma, the current Archbishop of Cebu.
