Welcome to Mount St. Mary’s Seminary
A Message from the Rector
In the name of the administration, faculty, and seminarians of Mount St. Mary’s Seminary I welcome your interest in our program. The “Mount” is beginning its third century of service to the Church in the United States. Throughout our history bishops have entrusted their seminarians to us to be formed into parish priests “after the Heart of Christ.”
We are proud to be one of the oldest and largest seminaries in the United States. The Mount has always remained focused on its mission: that of preparing candidates to become parish priests who strive for holiness, are devoted to the Holy Eucharist and the Blessed Mother, and are totally loyal to the Gospel and the teaching of the Church. Our fully accredited academic programs are taught with the pastoral perspective of the parish priest always in mind.
We offer degree programs in Theology including the Master of Divinity and the Master of Arts (theology) with concentrations in Systematic, Moral, Sacred Scripture, Church History and Pastoral Theology. Our S.T.B. program offered in conjunction with the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, invites students to focus their program on the study of Thomistic Theology. Imbedded in our two year pretheology program is the option of earning a Master of Arts in Philosophical Studies. We also offer a certificate in Hispanic Ministry and a summer language program in Mexico.
I am very pleased that you are looking at our website and hope that it will be of help to you. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Once again, welcome to the “Mount.” We are eager to be of service to you. Click on any of the links at the upper left for further information.
