We are an institute of higher education, accredited by the State of Connecticut, that offers an Associate of Arts degree to prepare seminarians for their evangelizing mission as priests in today’s world.
Following the principles of integral formation as laid out in the document Pastores Dabo Vobis by Pope John Paul II, we not only strive to promote academic excellence but also a profound spiritual life, solid character formation, and a fine sensitivity to others’ needs according to Christian charity.

Our students are all novices and religious of the Catholic Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ, coming from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
Currently there are members from over 10 different nationalities living together in community and preparing for their future mission under the guidance of a select formation team.

Both the young men in formation and the formation team are committed to reaching out to the local community in many ways, such as: youth and family work, parish and city missions, catechesis and the formation of catechists, an open lecture series on cultural and religious topics, and concerts performed by the seminary band and choir.

In the early morning hours of August 5, 2021, the Lord called our dearest Fr. Anthony Bannon, LC, home after health complications arising from cancer. Fr. Anthony Bannon, LC, was born in the “Old Sod,” Dublin Ireland, on April 25, 1947. His Mom and Dad had six children: Fr. Anthony and his five sisters. One of his sisters, Patricia Bannon, is a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi currently serving in Chile. Fr. Anthony felt the Lord’s call to be a Missionary in Latin America and joined the Legionaries of Christ’s novitiate in his sunny-cloudy hometown of Dublin on September 14, 1964.

Fr. Anthony made his first religious profession on September 15, 1966, and his perpetual profession on April 2, 1972. He was ordained a priest on December 24, 1975, by Cardinal Eduardo F. Pironio, then Pro-Prefect of the Congregation for Religious Life and Secular Institutes, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine in Rome, Italy. Click here for the full bio.
