The Pontifical College Josephinum, located in Columbus, Ohio, is one of only two pontifical seminaries outside of Italy and the only one in North America. Founded in 1888 by Monsignor Joseph Jessing, this Roman Catholic seminary operates under the direct authority of the Holy See and prepares men for the priesthood through both undergraduate and graduate theological education. The campus, situated on 100 acres in northern Columbus, features a prominent modernist chapel and academic buildings constructed in the 1930s. The institution maintains two main divisions: the College of Liberal Arts and the School of Theology, with all seminarians residing on campus in accordance with traditional seminary formation requirements. The Josephinum offers programs in philosophy, theology, and pastoral studies, with liturgical formation and spiritual development as central components of the curriculum.
