History
Upon the creation of the Province of Mary Help of Christians (FIS), the Salesian Philippine South province, the Provincial Council decided to create a formation house for Salesian Brothers in Don Bosco Technology Center in 1995. The formation house was then known as the Salesian Brothers Seminary. Years later, the formation plan evolved into admitting college students and young professionals who aspire to become Salesian Priests and Lay Brothers.
By 1998, the seminary in Don Bosco Technology Center was renamed as the Don Bosco Formation Center (DBFC).
In 2004, the province decided to gather its formation organizations into one house. Thus, DBFC was transferred to Don Bosco Missionary Seminary. Awaiting its full installation, it was ought to replace the High School Aspirantate of DBMS. The seminarians, as they are once called, stayed in the basement section of the building until the last batch of aspirants graduate from the high school aspirantate.
In March 2005, the last batch of high school aspirants graduated and paved way for the complete transfer of the College Seminary into the dormitory quarters in building. At the time, there were 38 college aspirants.
As of March 2007, the Aspirantate registered 27 aspirants, two of them being young professionals.
