Notre Dame Seminary

Dear Notre Dame Seminary,
We love Jesus and all but if you could JUST allow your grounds people to park their equipment on — oh I don’t know — the GROUNDS, the rest of New Orleans could get to work/​home on time.
You know you want to.
Three stars. For the Father, Son and Holy Spirt!

This Roman Catholic Seminary serves the greater Gulf-​South region of Catholic Dioceses and offers Masters degrees in Divinity and Theology. While her primary goal is the training of future priests, Notre Dame Seminary also teaches and trains those in training to be Permanent Deacons and future Religious Directors of Parishes and Catholic Schools.
The Professors and Staff here are some of the best in the Country in their respective fields of expertise, especially in Sacred Scripture and Dogmatic Theology. Boss.
Celebrating 90 years of priestly education and Catholic formation, Notre Dame Seminary is a landmark in New Orleans, and a community of truth and love that furthers the Mission of Christ to be all things to all people. Amen.

DISCLAIMER: This review is for Christ in the City which meets at Notre Dame Seminary Chapel on the first Tuesdays of every month at 7pm.
I have not fully toured the Notre Dame Seminary but have attended meetings there (Just Faith information meeting) and have visited the Archbishop’s residence when he invited the Young Adults for a reception. I truly appreciate the Archbishop because he is very approcheable and welcoming. I have lectored for him at a Young Adult Mass and he is kind enough to remember me and ask how the Young Adults are doing in the community. New Orleans is very blessed to have him here with us!
As I mentioned in my tip, Christ in the City is for young Catholics (20s-​40s) gather in the Notre Dame Chapel for eucharistic adoration and reconciliation. It starts at 7pm and usually lasts for about an hour. I would recommend getting there early because parking in the horseshoe fills up quickly. But there is also street parking as well. Last night the chapel was lit by beautiful candles at the altar and it was lovely.
The service has singing in both english and latin, then the priest says a gospel, and there is silent meditation. Meanwhile, the last pew on the left hand side is reserved for the sacrament of reconciliation. There are usually two priests on hand to administer this sacrament. After the silent meditation there is more beautiful singing and then a procession. After the service, be sure to get a free drink ticket where everyone meets across the street at Ye Olde College Inn.
It is a beautiful time for prayer, eucharistic adoration, reconciliation, and fellowship!

As an educational institution I know very little about the quality. As an institution that ordains priest I commend the Seminary. As a treasure of New Orleans Architecture I admire it.
