Dear Friends in Christ,

Permit me this opportunity to welcome you to our web-site.  With almost fifty years of priestly formation experience, St. John’s has served the Church for over thirty years as a bilingual and multicultural seminary.  We have a very dynamic community.  A microcosm of the universal Church, our house includes 17 countries of birth, 5 first languages, and over 12 dioceses and religious communities sitting together at the feet of the Lord. 

As an accredited, free-standing college seminary conferring a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy and a Certificate in Pre-Theology, we are able to ensure that the ministerial priesthood is the focus of all the pillars of formation: human, spiritual, pastoral, and intellectual.    Our faculty and staff love the priesthood and give themselves most personally to the work of priestly formation. 

Please know that all who visit this site will be remembered in our prayers.  May our Blessed Mother guide you deeper into the heart of her Son.

Sincerely yours in the Lord,

Rev. Msgr. Michael G. Carruthers

Rector-President
