The High School Seminary
We Offer:
- An excellent four year college prep academic
program in a Catholic environment which encourages and challenges students to reach their full potential.
- A holistic approach to education emphasizing: physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth
and maturity in a healthy atmosphere which encourages and fosters the building of positive friendships among
peers and with young women.
- A four year formation program assisting in the development of a spiritual life and a relationship with
God while offering opportunities, in a supportive environment, to explore and develop the vocational question
of priesthood in their lives.
- Positive role-modeling and reinforcement of priesthood as a life choice through an active priest
presence on our faculty.
- A dedicated and qualified faculty who with their academic, religious and formational skills teach,
through positive instruction and role-modeling Gospel virtues: religious, moral and ethical values
for life.
- A Catholic values based education emphasizing the importance of Gospel service, providing our students
with numerous opportunities for service within the Quigley community, their neighborhoods, and their parishes.
We Do Not:
- Offer an inferior education, academically or
socially, nor accept poor study habits and academic failure in our students.
- Encourage unhealthy peer pressure or accept peer criticism among our students.
- Ordain young men as priests after four years in our high school seminary. Preparation for
priesthood requires four years of study after high school graduation at the minor college seminary,
St. Joseph Seminary, and four more years of study at the Major Seminary, University of St. Mary of
the Lake.
- Pressure our young men into choosing priesthood as a life choice or encourage them to prematurely
foreclose on other options in their lives. Rather, we encurage them to develop their gifts and
talents and listen to God's call, wherever it may lead.
- Diminish the personal qualities, gifts, and dedication of our faculty nor do we accept a faculty
member who is unwilling to avail himself or herself to help our students beyond the school day.
