This paper studies the creation of the Conciliar Seminary of the Diocese of Tucuman. This college was very different from those ordered by the Council of Trent, both because of its characteristics, and also because of its formal founding was intended to insert the Society of Jesus in Tucuman territory and undertake evangelization. It is an example of how the mandates of the Council of Trent had to be modified when they were implemented in the Indies, since, like any other norm, canonical decrees were forced to adapt to the requirements of each diocese, the characteristics of the land and the way the powers were organized.

Palabras llave : Conciliar Seminary; formation of the clergy; Colonial Tucuman; Santiago del Estero; Society of Jesus.
