Our Mission

Saint Vincent Seminary is a Roman Catholic Seminary grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the living tradition of the Church in accord with the Magisterium, and shaped by the Benedictine heritage of liturgical prayer, study, hospitality, and community. As such, the Seminary prepares candidates for the priesthood through “an integral journey in which the four dimensions of human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation are woven together” (PPF6, 11). Consistent with this primary mission and responsive to contemporary needs, the Seminary shares with the Church its resources and culture of accompaniment, particularly in the formation of permanent diaconate candidates and lay ministry students. — Approved by the Board of Regents on October 29, 2024.

Inclusion Statement

As a Catholic Seminary and “a school of the Lord’s service,” (Rule of Saint Benedict Prol. 45), Saint Vincent Seminary is rooted in the tradition of the Gospel as taught by the Catholic Church and lived through the fifteen-century history of Benedictine monasticism. Shaped by our Benedictine heritage of prayer, study, hospitality, and community, we hold fast to a commitment to recognize and honor each person, made in the image and likeness of God, (cf. Genesis 1:26), and endowed with a fundamental human dignity. We live this commitment through:

Prayer: we lift our voices in prayer amid the diversity of our many origins, journeys, spiritualities, and languages (Acts 2) but are children of one Father (Matt 6).

Study: we, each in our uniqueness, open our minds through study to the beauty of creation and the Wisdom of God’s Word, discovering that all are made in his image and likeness (Gen 1:26-27).

Hospitality: we welcome all as Christ himself, not being awed by wealth or prestige but rather showing particular solicitude to those who are poor or downtrodden (Rule of Saint Benedict 53:1-2, 15).

Community: we seek to exclude none but provide for all as they have need (Rule of Saint Benedict 34, quoting Acts 4:35) while building a community centered on the Gospel of Christ and our mission of forming Catholic priests and lay Church ministers.
