Founded in 1845, and built on this site in 1855, because a bishop was inspired to make this place holy. Built by hundreds of workers, immigrants, priests and seminarians, brick by brick. Built for the formation of priests for the faithful, for yesterday, today and tomorrow. Built because of Christ, by Christ, for Christ.
We welcomed benefactors to the Seminary to celebrate the feast day of St. Francis de Sales.
Women are invited to the Seminary on Tuesday, February 18 to pray for vocations. Fr. Rob Kroll, S.J. will lead gatherings at 9:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Fr. Justin Kizewski will present Human Being Fully Alive: Being and Act[ing] in Moral and Spiritual Theology on Thursday, March 19.
THANK YOU to everyone who helped us celebrate the men who are being called to the priesthood of Jesus Christ!
