Any Good Seminaries

[IrishG8s]

Hey, I wondered if any of you knew of any good seminaries. I am currently trying to get accepted into St. Jhon Vianney in Miami, Fl. But does anyone know any other good ones?
Thanks

The Dever Seminary is Top Notch

and so is Conception Seminary in Kansas City Kansas

I pray that no seminaries breed intellectual arrogance and form their priests in humility!

Is that the Denver seminary? Is it good? I'm in Colorado and that would work out well for me if that's what you're talking about.

I live in Miami, and our parish is very involved with St. Jogn Vianney Seminary....some awesome people there

[let_go_let_God]

There are two good seminaries in Minnesota and I have friends who are going or have gone to either. One is St. John Vianney at the the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. The other is IHM in Winona MN.

I'm currently at St. John Vianney in St. Paul, MN, and it's really cool.

[url="http://www.denverseminary.edu/index.php"]Yeah, I have several Friends who have been made Holy there.[/url]

Some of the seminarians are in a Band and made a really awesome CD. I could not find a link but if you have AIM I would be willing to loan you a couple files.

Also The Most Reverned Chaput is one awesome shepherd...He Literally is the Man,

Theoketos,

Did you intend to post the link to the Protestant seminary? If so, that's cool, but just so everybody knows.


peace...

It is interesting that popesaintpiusx named the same Seminary that I was going to name. It is the [i]only[/i] good Seminary that I know of in this country, but there would probably be difficulties in most people being accepted, and it is for a Mass with which most of you are probably unfamiliar. If you are interested in the Latin Mass and do not want to have the abuses of the Novus Ordo on your conscience (until you become a Pastor in order to change the errors), then this is certainly your best bet, but, as I said, there are many other issues that must be considered. Just to clarify, it is called Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, Nebraska, eight miles from Lincoln, Nebraska where the Cathedral is for the Diocese of Lincoln. God bless.

[amarkich]

Oh, just as an aside, not that Our Lady of Guadalupe does this at all, but I think that intellectual arrogance is a very small problem (if it is a problem in our times) compared to the heresies and errors that are openly supported at many seminaries today! God bless.

there's one in Philadelphia.. i'll ask our pastor tomorrow, he'll know what the name of it is, we have 2 in there right now

[PaxVobis]

St. Charles Borromeo is in Philidelphia.. From what I hear that have a good program there. It is both theology and college level. But I have heard that the scripture courses are apt to being a little to historicaly focused.

Peace,

Conception Seminary College

[Theoketos]

Wrong Seminary, but the Phorum will not let me edit right now...

I ment the real Denver Catholic Seminary...

[qfnol31]

The University of Dallas has a seminary, but if I were you, I'd consider other places as well. The thing I like about our seminary is the spiritual guidance priest there...but after Bishop Joseph Gallante left...well, it's not quite as good anymore.

My name is Derrick Flannigan and I am a second year college seminarian studying for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, Missouri. Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, the seminary I attend, is very nice and we have many men from many other dioceses. I would suggest looking at this one.

In Christ and Mary,

I am currently studying at St. John Vianney In St. Paul, Minnesota. It is a fantastic place, completely faithful to the magisterium and the Holy Father. I also have some strong ties to the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska. The bishop there, Fabian Bruskewitz, is know for his strident orthodoxy, fidelity to Rome, and his firmness. Many have mentioned Our Lady of Guadaloupe. It is a good place, I know at least one man who was there, he may not be any more, I don't know for sure. Anyway, they do teach the Tridentine Mass, but it is the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, which is completely approved and supported by Rome. Other than that, I don't know much about OLG. There is another college seminary run by the Diocese of Lincoln, St. Gregory the Great in Seward, but they have just opened within the last six or seven years and there are only about four dioceses that send there. Three of them are Cheyanne, WY, Rockford, IL, and Lincoln. I'm not sure about the fourth. In any event, it is a fantastic college seminary as well.

In terms of major seminary in the United States, some good ones that immediately come to mind are Mount St. Mary's in Emmetsburgh, Maryland, St. Charles Borromeo in Philadelphia, the Josephenum in Ohio (Scott Hahn is a guest professor there), St. John Vianney in Denver, Kennrick-Glennon in St. Louis, and I've also heard a lot of good things about St. Meinrad's School of Theology in Indiana.

By and large, I think a lot of the dissent in seminaries is clearly on the way out. Do some checking, but I think most places will be much better and more faithful than they were even five or ten years ago.

I'm actually going to St. Gregory the Great next year for college seminary for the Rockford Diocese. I visited there last fall and it's awesome. They have a very balanced organized schedule and they are very orthodox. Their chapel is phenomenal. They have a good staff there too. I am looking forward to next fall...
