Theological College - Washington, D.C.

The seminary is located on the campus of Catholic University of America, where our seminarians attend classes and University events.

During the Holy Father's visit to the United States in 2008, we were able to see him from our seminary!

The Seminary is currently home to about 80 students and 10 priests on Faculty; including our own Fr. Daniel Greenleaf from Biddeford, Maine.

Our Lady of Providence - Providence, RI.


1942, the Diocese of Providence began its priestly seminary training program at Our Lady of Providence Seminary in Warwick RI, overlooking Narragansett Bay.  For over 40 years, this facility trained many priests for service for the Church.  In 1982 a seminary review committee was formed to discuss the changes necessary in order to continue priestly formation in the Diocese of Providence.  The commission decided after a yearlong study to relocate the college seminary program from Warwick to St Vincent House in Providence.
