Part of a solid formation is how a seminary holds hands and prays. When Matthew and I were there we were amazed at the number of opportunities there were to do just that. Worship is central to one's spiritual life on top of formation. The seminary utilizes Rite I, Rite II and EOW resources, switching them throughout the year. They even hold liturgies that are bilingual, utilizing Spanish resources! Below is a normal week's worth of worship looks like.
