Auditoriums were rented for lectures in various institutions of the city, but the main room was the assembly hall of the Basilian monastery in Maizly (Ivano-Frankivsk).

Ordinary Bishop Sofron Dmyterko of Ivano-Frankivsk made efforts to establish and organize the educational institution.

It was he who began to seek the return of the building on Sister Vasilianok Street for the establishment of a theological school there.

With the new registration and the involvement of more professors on the basis of this seminary in 1996 began graduating from the Theological Institute.

Priests returned from abroad after defending their degrees and joined the teaching staff of emigration teachers.

Among the first students were not only natives of Ukraine, but also from the Republic of Belarus, Marmara region (Romania), the Russian Federation and others.
