Extraordinary Form of the Mass at St. John Vianney Seminary


This past Saturday the Extraordinary Form of the Mass was celebrated for the first time in the chapel of the St. John Vianney College Seminary at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul.

St. John Vianney is a wonderful place for young men discerning a vocation to the priesthood. Currently there are 135 young men from several Dioceses studying there. Even those that do not continue on to the priesthood will have received a very Catholic formation which will serve them and society very well in whatever other vocation they follow.

Like many seminaries SJV went through a difficult period in the 1980's but beginning with the arrival of the Archbishop Harry Flynn in the 90's and the appointment of solid Rectors it has really turned around.
