The Kenrick-Glennon Society

Growing in fellowship with my brother seminarians is a wonderful experience. I am thankful for the fraternity of the Seminary community and the support we receive from the Kenrick-Glennon Society.
– Patrick Russell, Cardinal Glennon College II 

Praying

For generations, God has blessed the Church with talented men of faith to lead us in love, to nourish us by His word and to renew the Church with His Sacraments. For more than 100 years, young men have discerned their call to the Roman Catholic priesthood at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary.  Graduates of Kenrick-Glennon serve as Church leaders in parishes, dioceses and other religious communities in St. Louis, throughout the Midwest, across the United States and other parts of the world.

Kenrick-Glennon Seminary integrates the four pillars of seminary formation: human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral formation.  Real-life ministry experiences – including work in parishes, soup kitchens, schools and hospitals – are an essential component in the curriculum for seminarians.

Kenrick-Glennon Seminary receives financial support from a variety of sources including tuition, endowments, special appeals and bequests. One of the most important sources of support for Kenrick-Glennon is individuals and companies that make regular gifts to offset the operating expenses of the Seminary. The quality of the program and the excellence of the candidates for the priesthood depend on a spiritual and intellectual environment of the highest caliber.
