Welcome to Saint John's School of Theology·Seminary
"All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: 'I was a stranger and you welcomed me' (Matthew 25:35)." Saint Benedict wrote those words in Chapter 53 of his Rule. Our Catholic Benedictine tradition teaches us to treat all people as we would treat Christ. Even through this Web site, we hope you will sense the warmth of the famous Benedictine hospitality that permeates Saint John's.
