Building Our Future: The Comprehensive Campaign for Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary

Why Now?

Since 1832, we have been building and growing our seminary community. Today, against the backdrop of an increasingly complex world, we must prepare future generations of priests, deacons, and laymen and women as missionary disciples.  To do this, we launched the Building Our Future: The Comprehensive Campaign for Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary to:

  • Build a new campus for Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary to transform our seminarians’ formation with updated technology, improved services and state-of-the-art facilities, readying our students to be servant leaders after the Heart of Jesus Christ;
  • Establish an endowment to ensure the long-term sustainability of our seminary. The endowment will allow us to offer financial aid to students in need, manage annual operating expenses, and continue to grow our vibrant community.

We are thrilled to announce the completion of the first phase of our Building Our Future: The Comprehensive Campaign for Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary. We started the 2024-2025 Academic Year on the Lower Gwynedd campus in August.  The new campus transforms our seminarians’ formation with updated technology, improved services, and state-of-the-art facilities. However, our mission is far from complete. We now aim to raise $40 million to invest in forming future generations of faith leaders in the Catholic community. Our seminarians of today and tomorrow have already answered their call; now it is our turn to support them.

Our New Home

The new Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary Campus in Lower Gwynedd, PA, reflects the unique and specific needs of our current and future students. We have built a new chapel and student life center, which includes a dining hall, classrooms, library, administrative offices, fitness center, and additional housing for seminarians and resident faculty. With new, state-of-the-art facilities, the seminary will be able to run more efficiently, reducing our operating costs.

We also established an endowment to ensure the long-term sustainability of our mission. We want our students at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary to experience the strength of our highly respected programs and the beauty of God’s providence as they walk through the halls of our new campus. Our program is strong, evidenced by a continuing trend of stable enrollment and ongoing additions to an already well-respected faculty.
