- St. Mary's Seminary and University
St. Mary's Seminary & University is a Roman Catholic seminary in Baltimore, Maryland USA.
Founded in 1791, and chartered by the state of Maryland in 1805, St. Mary's became the first ecclesiastical faculty in the United States with the right to grant degrees in the name of the Holy See when Pope Pius VII established it as a seminary in 1822. The original chapel was designed by Maximilian Godefroy and is still standing. It is adjacent to the Mother Seton House where St. Elizabeth Ann Seton lived while in Baltimore.
St. Mary's moved to the Roland Park park section of Baltimore in 1929. In 1974, it became St. Mary's Seminary & University. Fr. Robert F. Leavitt S.S., S.T.D. retired spring 2007 as President-Rector of St. Mary's Seminary & University. He served at this position for 27 years, the longest tenure of any President Rector in the school's 234-year history.
The Knott Library at St. Mary's Seminary & University houses the collected papers of the eminent Johannine scholar and St. Mary's graduate (S.T.B., 1951) Fr. Raymond E. Brown S.S.
The Ecumenical Institute of Theology at St. Mary's, founded in 1968, offers graduate degrees and certificates in a denominationally and ethnically diverse adult learning environment. Dr. Michael Gorman, a United Methodist and noted Pauline scholar, is the EI's Dean as well as a Professor of Sacred Scripture at the Seminary.
