Abstract: This study determines the level of spiritual well-being and the level of resiliency of the religious seminarians specifically the Vocationist Seminarians in the Philippines. The respondents of this study are the 33 Vocationist Seminarians officially enrolled on this school year 2021-2022. Complete enumeration method had been employed by the researcher. The collected data were statistically processed using the weighted mean, simple frequency count, percentage, Pearson Chi-square, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The significance of the relationships between the sociodemographic profile, level of spiritual well-being, and resilience were examined. Resilience and spiritual wellbeing are directly connected. Moreover, it was discovered that regardless of the seminarians’ sociodemographic backgrounds, they can possess high levels of spirituality and resiliency. A significant rise in resiliency is fostered by an improvement in spiritual well-being. Even though the study’s findings indicate that spiritual well-being is generally high, spiritual programs are still essential to maintain the seminarians’ level of resilience and spiritual well-being, and in order to significantly boost the growth and motivation of the seminarians to be responsive to the vocation that they are into. The seminary, which serves as a house of religious formation, can effectively facilitate the integration of spiritual resilience and well-being into its formation programs, which will eventually result in a person and community that are psycho-spiritually and humanly integrated.
