Welcome to Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary
The Pope St. John XXIII Seminary community is committed to our founding mission: the human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation of candidates aged 30 and older. Our unique institution is the only American seminary for these mature candidates administered by diocesan priests.
For more than five decades, candidates have been accepted from various professional backgrounds; such as law, medicine, business, teaching, sales, banking, social work, and military service. The diversity of life experiences shared by these mature seminarians enriches both the Seminary community and their future ministries in the Church.

“After raising a family, I accompanied my late wife on her journey as she transitioned to eternal life…I believe that I was prodded by my blessed wife, prompted by the Holy Spirit, and emboldened by Our Blessed Mother to apply for priestly formation.”
