Welcome To Saint John's Seminary

Rector's Message

The Seminary exists to transmit the riches of the wisdom hidden in Christ. Every one of the baptized needs serious formation in Christian wisdom, and the Seminary now offers its theological expertise on an even wider scale through our new Theological Institute for the New Evangelization. The seminary’s lay formation programs, gathered under the umbrella of the Institute, are open to all those who seek a deepening of their Catholic faith, and the opportunity to assist the Catholic Church as highly qualified candidates for work within parishes, hospitals and schools.

As we opened this academic year, we welcomed the largest group of new men the seminary has seen in many a decade. With now just over 100 men studying here for the priesthood of Christ Jesus, we continue to seek excellence in all areas of their formation. The growth in priestly vocations that we are seeing is attributable to the prayer and support of many people, and we ask that the prayers and support continue unceasingly. This is a time of great blessing, and we thank God for all that He has sent to us through His good people.
