St. John Vianney College Seminary

SJV is one of the largest college seminaries in the United States, representing over 16 dioceses throughout the nation, with approximately 100 undergraduate men in formation annually. SJV is located on the campus of the University of St. Thomas and its seminarians are full-time undergraduate students at the University. SJV is its own 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with its own employees.

SJV nurtures the seeds of a priestly vocation, preparing young men for major seminary through integral formation and discipleship in Christian character, a traditional Catholic program of spiritual growth, and a formative liberal arts education. We form Men in Christ, Men of the Church, and Men for Others.
