About
Saint Joseph Seminary College, affectionately known as St. Ben’s, is a private Roman Catholic institution best known for preparing young men for the priesthood alongside educating coeducational non-seminarian students. Centered around a traditional liberal arts curriculum, the college’s strongest and primary academic programs are philosophy and religious studies, which serve as foundational formation for post-graduate theological work. Campus culture is deeply rooted in the Benedictine monastic tradition, characterized by daily liturgical prayer, communal meals, silent reflection, and shared fraternal life. Distinctively situated on the historic grounds of Saint Joseph Abbey, the campus offers a peaceful, contemplative rural setting where students live in close proximity to a functioning community of Benedictine monks.
