The St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity this fall welcomes its largest enrollment in almost three decades.
Thirty-three new seminarians are joining the seminary, bringing the total number of men studying for the priesthood to 92. The residence hall there is at full capacity, according to the seminary.
The seminarians come from 14 dioceses in the United States, and from Ghana, Uganda and Peru. Forty of the men are preparing to serve as priests of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
“Our strong enrollment reflects the growing number of men who are answering God’s call to the priesthood,” said Msgr. Aloysius Callaghan, rector of the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity. “Their witness offers hope for the future of our church.”
In addition, 62 lay people and members of religious communities are studying in the School of Divinity for their master’s degrees in theology.
The traditional group photo will be taken at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8, on the seminary’s campus at the western end of St. Paul’s Summit Avenue. Archbishop John Nienstedt will celebrate Mass with the seminary community at 5 p.m. that day in St. Mary’s Chapel |

At the end of the Aug. 15 Mass in honor of La Virgen del Cisne at Sagrado Corazón de Jesús in Minneapolis, Juan Muñoz changes the “Manto,” the robe of the statue of La Virgen del Cisne, before a three-block procession around the neighborhood of the church.
The celebration continued at the parish with musical groups, dancing and Ecuadorian food, as part of a traditional Ecuadorian celebration that began Aug. 14 with games and family activities in a park near the church.
Devotion to La Virgen del Cisne began more than four centuries ago when indigenous people in the Ecuadorian town of El Cisne acquired a statue of the Virgin Mary. Photo by Dianne Towalski / The Catholic Spirit
