Kenrick-Glennon Seminary

On Saturday, May 4th, six seminarians were ordained transitional deacons for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. They are Rev. Mr. Andrew Burkemper, Paul Hamilton, David Hogan, Conor Sullivan, Thomas Vordtriede, and Ryan Weber.  You can learn more about these men in the St. Louis Review. If you were unable to attend the ordination, you may watch the recording or see photos on the St. Louis Review website.

Please pray for and congratulate our soon-to-be deacons as they prepare to devote their lives to the service of Christ and His Church!

The Annual Catholic Appeal helps open the door of faith for Catholics across the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Your participation in the Annual Catholic Appeal accomplishes something simple but profound: it opens the door of faith for others and for yourself. Because of your gift someone will meet Jesus Christ, have the opportunity to experience His loving grace, know His mercy and rest in His peace. Please join our seminary community in supporting the Annual Catholic Appeal.

On April 11th, Fr. Emil Kapaun, a Kenrick graduate from the Class of 1940, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor at the White House. Fr. Kapaun (1916-1951) was a priest chaplain in the Korean conflict and is recognized for his extraordinary heroism and holiness. He has been named "Servant of God" by the Church and his cause for canonization was formally opened in 2008.

The seminary community is grateful to all of the supporters of the Faith for the Future Campaign. Your contribution has done more than renovate the campus and build the endowment. You have furthered the seminary's mission of helping young men discern their personal call to the holy priesthood.

This video more fully expresses our gratitude and shares with you some of the impact of your gift. Please take a few moments to view the video and learn how your support has enhanced the formation and education of our future priests.
