With the growing number of candidates for the diocesan priesthood, the scope of the College was broadened. Since 1974, a programme was set up for the formation of these candidates in preparation for their training in the major seminary. In 1972, the College began to enroll young men and women who felt called to the religious life. These candidates need to be sponsored by the particular religious congregation of their choice before they can be accepted as external students. They offered courses in theological education and English before beginning the next stage of their formation. At present, the administration of Moamoa Theological College is entrusted to the Archdiocese of Samoa-Apia, which was formerly entrusted to the Salesians of Saint John Bosco. The College is assisted by the Priests, Deacons and Religious of the Archdiocese and qualified members of the laity.

Enrolment for Moamoa Theological College in recent years has consistently been at a 100% occupancy rate (48). The number of Catechists is capped at 10 couples (20 including the wives) because of the number of fales (accommodation) available. The Seminarians are currently at 10 although more students can be enrolled based on the availability of dormitory space. The external students have more of an open number because there are no restrictions with accommodation as they live outside of the campus. However, student numbers are also being monitored to ensure resources and staff members are available to adequately meet their support and learning needs. Currently the number of external students stands at 8. MTC’s overall student roll for 2021 stands at 58.

Due to the Covid19 pandemic, a restrictions was in place for travelling between countries thus our seminarians were unable to continue their studies in Fiji at the Pacific Regional Seminary. So our theological college became a minor seminary to accommodate our seminarians. For this purpose we add the seminary named to our old college title; and now become Moamoa Theological College and Seminary.
