Seminarium Missionum (Cospicua, Malta)
Shortly after the Convent of Santa Teresa de Jesús opened, the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide proposed the creation of a seminary for training missionaries and the study of Arabic in Malta. Marzio Ginetti, Cardinal Protector of the Discalced Carmelites, made the proposal on behalf of the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide at the General Chapter of the Discalced Carmelites of 1632. The Definitorio Generale of March 1 to April 5 separated the convent from the Province of Sicily, and put it back under Roman jurisdiction, giving legal status to the new Seminary. By 1790, the Seminarium Missionum assumed the role of a local novitiate.
