The name of the seminary will remain the same: Saint Charles and Saint Ambrose. But, when the seminarians move in (they are currently about sixty), the old construction will be converted into a big cultural and educational centre dedicated to the servant of God Felix Varela.

Cardinal Jaime Ortega Alamino, archbishop of Havana, says: "The words ‘Ancient seminary of Saint Charles and Saint Ambrose’ will be left under the name of the future institution, maybe in brackets". Both buildings, the old and the new one, "will retain, along with the Cubans, the legitimacy of our nationality and will guard, as a Church, the memory of our people", explains the magazine. Card. Ortega says he is very happy that in the new facility every seminarian will have his private areas, "peace and quiet, time for reading" and "will be able to organise his own life in a similar way to that he will live afterwards in any parish or ministry". In these days, the Cuban bishops are in Rome on a "visit ad limina".
