Since the ancient times it has been bringing up and preparing juveniles for Franciscan service. In 1838 Sinj got the first gymnasium with lessons in Croatian, the classical gymnasium of Franciscan province of Most Holy Redeemer. In 1907 a new seminary was built along the Alka tilt yard which, at the end of the Second World war taken away by the then government.
The building regained the right of the publicity after the fall of communist regime in 1990. Monastery has a rich library, valuable archaelogical, ethnologic, paleontlogic and numismatic collection. After many removals, in 1972 a special building was built and, above mentioned collections, under the name 'The collection of Franciscan convent in Sinj“, were placed there.
Publishing activity
Except being great educators and soul protectors Franciscans gave a special attention to the book writing, not only philosophical and theological ones but also those on different scientific disciplines. 'Madonna of Sinj herald' appeared in 1914 and in 1922 it started to come out even the organ 'Madonna of Sinj'. Communist government after the Second World War abolished the catholic press, so the barker started to come out again only in 1974, and the annual 'Madonna of Sinj' in 2007.
