Saint Joseph Seminary College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Joseph Seminary College is a private four-year seminary college founded in 1889. It is operated by the Benedictine Monks of Saint Joseph Abbey and the dioceses of the ecclesiastical provinces of New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama. The 1200-acre piney woods campus is located in St. Benedict, Louisiana, north of Covington. The college is fully-accredited and offeres bachelor of arts degrees in philosophy in either liberal arts or religious studies to men seeking eventual ordination as priests in the Roman Catholic Church. The college also has a two-year pre-theology program for students who have already attained a college degree. After attending St. Joseph's Seminary, seminarians wishing to continue priestly studies will attend a major seminary usually Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans La.
Students and Alumni often refer to the seminary simply as "St. Ben's".
Notable Alumni: Bernard Francis Law
