Forming Priests for a New Apostolic Age

At Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, we are dedicated to forming priests who embody the joy and compassion of Jesus Christ. Our community forms men of freedom who are ready for lifelong service to the Church.

A Vision for Priestly Formation

Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is a proper ecclesial community of the Archdiocese of St. Louis preparing men for the ministerial priesthood of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and to the glory of God the Father, we seek each seminarian’s configuration to the Heart of Jesus Christ, High Priest and Shepherd, so that he can shepherd whole heartedly with Christ’s pastoral charity.
