Saint John's Seminary

Saint John's Seminary, located in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, serves as the major seminary of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. Established in 1884, the seminary occupies a Gothic Revival-style campus featuring distinctive red brick buildings and landscaped grounds. The institution focuses exclusively on graduate-level theological education and formation of Catholic priests, offering Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Theology degrees through its academic programs. The seminary maintains a residential community where seminarians live on campus while completing their studies, following a structured daily schedule that combines academic work with spiritual formation and pastoral training. The campus shares its grounds with the former Brighton campus of Boston College and is situated near several major Boston-area medical centers and educational institutions.
