Abstract
The work of the Vukovar theological seminary for Franciscan friars of the Province of St. John of Capestrano began in 1802 aiming at providing an integral curriculum of theological education. By the year of 1804 it was already in function - divided into two diffirent branches; the first one being located in Baja, while the other remained in Vukovar. During the first half of the 19th century the branch located in Vukovar organised lectures following the basic state curricula for the third and fourth grade stidies. Meanwhile, during the second half of the century, up to 1885, the first and the second year lectures were also included in the educational process, but with some intervals of interruption. This essay enlightens the history of the Vukovar branch of this theological educational institution: its educational curricula that were adjusted to the state educational criteria and its organisation of the teaching processes. It also pays tribute to the work of some of its prominent lecturers such as G. Čevapović, M. Jaić, K.Agjić, E. Fermendžin and others) which has had such an impact on Croatian culture and activities of the Church that definitely exceeds the regular role of educational institutions in those times.
