Serving You & Serving Our Community
Retreats & Conferences
Hospitality is at the center of our Christian mission.
The Seminary is open year round and can host groups or individuals for single day or multi-day retreats, seminars or meetings.
Upcoming Events
The "
Icon of the Heart of the Church on Long Island” offers special events and programs providing opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship for clergy and laity.
O U R C H A P E L S
The Main Altar
Entering the main chapel from the mezzanine, one’s vision is irresistibly drawn to the basilican sanctuary. Together with its artful ceiling and richly embellished terrazzo floor, it provides a fitting setting for the altar of God. Specifically, it is the reredos rising up behind the marble altar that claims all attention. It is a beautiful work of art in wood carving, burnished with gold leaf and exhibiting the salient features of Christ’s life of beauty and wonder.
The central them of the reredos is the crucifixion scene superimposed on a medallion recounting the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps nowhere on the reredos is the consummate skill and exquisite workmanship of the artist so clearly manifest as in the ten scenes from the life of Christ flanking the Crucifixion.
Lining the two sides of the chapel, hand carved stalls face each other in monastic style to facilitate the recitation of prayer. The Stations of the Cross are engraved at intervals along a wooden screen behind them. Above these rise the richly colored stained glass windows and beamed ceiling painted in polychrome finish.
Approaching the narthex, we are confronted with a wrought iron choral screen in a combination of Spanish Renaissance and Romanesque design; the splendid craftsmanship of Frederick Bergmueller, a native of Augsburg, Germany. His work is abundantly displayed throughout the interior and exterior of the Seminary.
The Skinner organ made of four individual organs can be played separately or linked together, this beautiful instrument contains 1,800 pipes and was installed in 1930.

For Ongoing Formation
Catholic Higher Education
St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, NY houses and forms our own seminarians from our own Diocese of Rockville Centre.
The Seminary also offers graduate-level courses for the laity at our satellite campus here in Huntington.
Diaconate Formation
Those preparing to be ordained deacons within our Diocese are formed through the Seminary via the four pillars of formation: human, spiritual, academic and pastoral. For more information, visit the
Office of Deacons
page.
“Our Seminary is truly an icon of the heart of the Church here on Long Island. Not only does it reflect the many cultures and traditions that make up this multifaceted island from Brooklyn to Queens to Nassau and Suffolk, it also reflects the richness of the life of the Church both in her celebration of mysteries and in the variety of the spiritual forces that shape our lives and guide our future. Here at the Seminary, which truly can be called ‘Mary’s House,’ one encounters the Lord. One encounters Mary, the Mother of the Church, who under the title of the Immaculate Conception watches over this Seminary and indeed all of Long Island.”
+ Most Reverend William Murphy, D.D., S.T.D
Bishop Emeritus of Rockville Centre
