It is a community and institution that exists to promote, foster, and live principles proclaimed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and articulated in the Roman Catholic Church.

DOES EVERYONE WHO GOES TO ST. LAWRENCE BECOME A PRIEST?

No. St. Lawrence is a minor seminary. As such, its mission is to provide an opportunity for young Catholic men in high school to lay a foundation on which they can build a life of ministry in the Catholic Church as laymen, deacons, brothers or priests.

All of the students at St. Lawrence Seminary are Catholic.

Strive to have a diverse student body, students come from 5 different countries and 18 different states within the U.S.

Financial Aid is available to all domestic families.  St. Lawrence Seminary has never turned a family away due to finances.
