Description

This is a close-up view of one of the arched gates leading into St. John's Seminary in Little Rock.

Biographical/Historical Note

St. John's Seminary opened in 1911 by Bishop John Baptist Morris, and was located on Gaines St. in Little Rock, as a wing of the Little Rock College for Boys. In its fifty-six-year run, it produced hundreds of pastors, teachers, chaplains, and priests. The seminary was relocated to N. Tyler St. in 1916, but was eventually closed in 1967 due to financial constraints, high attrition rates, and a shortage of trained faculty. Today, the campus is home of the St. John Catholic Center, which houses the administrative offices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Little Rock.
