Kenrick-Glennon Seminary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is a four year private not-for-profit Roman Catholic Seminary located in St. Louis, Missouri. The Seminary had an enrollment of 90 students registered in the graduate program of Theology for the 2007-2008 academic year. There are also 28 students in Cardinal Glennon College, which resides in the same facility. The School of Theology also operates a Pre-Theology program for men who already have college degrees but need the required 30 hours of philosophy prior to entry into major seminary.
Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke has mentioned the importance of the Seminary in the life of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis on many occasions, including his Christmas reflection in the December 24, 2004 edition of the St. Louis Review. Another article stressing the importance of the Seminary in the Archdiocese appeared in the January 4, 2008 edition of the St. Louis Review. Because of the large number of Seminarians, and the age of the current building, the Seminary will be undergoing rennovations, as announced by Archbishop Burke on December 21, 2007.
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is located in the village of Shrewsbury, Missouri. The rector of the Seminary is Msgr. Theodore "Ted" Wojcicki.
