Priest Alumni
Since 1913, St. Augustine's Seminary has ordained over 2,000 priests who have served on four continents. They have and are serving in almost all of the English-speaking Dioceses of Canada, many in the United States, and over 25 Religious Communities. For many decades, our Priest Alumni have been served by the St. Augustine's Seminary Priests Alumni Association, which is responsible for the annual Alumni Day held at the Seminary each fall. Additionally, the Priest Alumni have undertaken important fundraising initiatives for the Seminary.
The SAS Alumni Association, which includes our priests, deacons, and laity, hopes to continue to develop this page to link our valued Alumni with one another and to keep you in touch with ongoing events and developments at the Seminary.
St. Augustine's Seminary would like to stay in touch with all of its Alumni. Please send your updated contact information to database@staugustines.on.ca
