Cardinal Glennon College

Cardinal Glennon College, the College Seminary program of formation located at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, is designed for college-age men who are seriously discerning a vocation to the priesthood.  The College Seminary gives young men the opportunity to explore more deeply God’s presence and call in their lives through a structured environment of prayer, community life, and intellectual and personal development in order to foster integrated Christian growth toward discernment and formation for the priesthood of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church.

Cardinal Glennon College seminarians are sponsored by the Archdiocese of St. Louis and other dioceses and religious communities.  Applicants should not apply directly to the College for admittance, but should first contact the proper representative of the Bishop or Provincial Superior, usually the Director of Vocations.  

Seminarians participate in the human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral programs at the Seminary. The first and second years of study focus upon the general classes of a liberal arts curriculum at Saint Louis University.  The final two years of intellectual formation focus upon the study of philosophy, taught at Cardinal Glennon College of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, which will award the Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy after successful completion of the program. 

Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is an accredited member of the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, as well as of the Association of Theological School (ATS) in the United States and Canada.  Kenrick School of Theology has been authorized since 1973.  Cardinal Glennon College has been authorized by HLC since July, 2008.
