More than 150 Years of Preparing Men for the Priesthood at the Immaculate Conception Seminary

"The classes were high-quality and the professors were extremely qualified, especially in the scriptural, historical and systematic courses I took. The teachers here believe in what they are teaching. I often felt they spoke not only to my mind but also to my heart. When I compared what I was doing here with what friends studying in seminaries in Florida or in Rome or Jerusalem were doing, these were the strongest and most educational."
Father Michael Eguino, SDB
