Sacred Heart Major Seminary Forming Hearts and Minds. Proclaiming Jesus Christ. shms.edu/contact

The mission of Sacred Heart Major Seminary is simple and compelling: to educate and form priests, deacons, and lay ministers to be leaders of the new evangelization of our increasingly secularized world. Sacred Heart’s students are formed by highly-credentialed instructors who teach according to the mind of the Church. Students are inspired by the example of the Good Shepherd and the surrounding urban environment to answer the call to serve human needs. Called into a transforming relationship with Jesus Christ, students are thereby prepared to assist others into that same intimate friendship.

For the second year in a row, Sacred Heart Major Seminary hosted an academic conference Oct. 1-3 to explore important theological questions in today's Church.

As the Church and wider society grapples with artificial intelligence, technological advancement and deep questions of meaning, the seminary's conference, “What Is Man That You Are Mindful of Him? Human Nature and Person Today” brought together more than 60 theologians, professors, students and guests at Sacred Heart.

On Monday, golfers, sponsors, seminarians, clergy and friends of Sacred Heart Major Seminary gathered at Saint John’s Resort for the 44th Annual Desert Golf Classic!

For 44 years, this special tradition has brought our community together for a day of fellowship while supporting the Seminary’s Desert Formation Experience and the formation of our future priests.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us on Monday and helped make the day such a success. A special thank you to our generous sponsors whose continued support makes this event, and the important formation experience it supports, possible.

This past weekend, we welcomed scholars, faculty, students, and guests for our 2026 Academic Conference, “What Is Man That You Are Mindful of Him?” Human Nature and Person Today.

With keynote presentations from Dr. Angela Franks, Dr. David C. Schindler, and Dr. Michael Waldstein, along with a variety of breakout sessions, we spent the weekend exploring human nature and what it means to be a person in the world today.

We’re grateful to all of our presenters and participants who made the conference such a meaningful time of learning, conversation, and reflection.

A moment our seminarians will carry with them for years to come.

More than 800 seminarians from across the country joined the procession during the beatification Mass for Blessed Fulton J. Sheen at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis.

For Sacred Heart seminarians Brendan Tabone and Christian Pulido, being surrounded by hundreds of brother seminarians and tens of thousands of faithful was a powerful reminder of the universal Church and the call to holiness. “It’s amazing to see the Church in America growing and to see so much hope in the Lord,” Pulido said. “It was extraordinary to be part of that and to think of the grace that the Lord gave us yesterday, reminding us that sainthood is the way.”

What a blessing to come together with others who have made it their mission to serve Christ and His Church.

Yesterday, our Sacred Heart community gathered for the 2026 Fall Colloquium, a morning filled with prayer, fellowship, and thoughtful conversation.

A special thank you to Fr. Brian Meldrum for an incredible presentation on the Psalms and the Liturgy of the Hours. Through singing, laughter, and thoughtful reflection, he invited us to look at prayer in a new way and to rediscover the beauty of the Church’s daily prayer.

As we begin a new academic year, we are grateful for the gift of this community and for the many ways God continues to bring us together in faith, prayer, and service.
