St. Mary's Seminary and University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Mary's Seminary is a Roman Catholic seminary in Baltimore, Maryland USA.
Founded in 1791, and chartered by the state of Maryland in 1805, St. Mary's became the first ecclesiastical faculty in the United States with the right to grant degrees in the name of the Holy See when Pope Pius VII established it as a seminary in 1822. The original chapel was designed by Maximilian Godefroy and is still standing. It is adjacent to the Mother Seton House where St. Elizabeth Ann Seton lived while in Baltimore.
St. Mary's moved to the Roland Park park section of Baltimore in 1929. In 1974, it became St. Mary's Seminary and University.
