Serra House Prepares for its Grand Re-Opening

The summer is often a quiet time at St. Augustine’s Seminary, especially after the academic year comes to an end. But this summer, there is big news happening at the Seminary’s downtown residence – Serra House.

While an official date has yet to be set, Serra House is expected to officially open its brand-new residence this summer.

“I'm hoping that some of us will be able to move in at the end of June or early July with an official opening late in August or early September,” says Fr. Scott Birchall, Director of Philosophy Formation (Serra House). “It is very exciting.”

When finished, the downtown location will accommodate seminarians who are in the initial stage of formation (discipleship stage – philosophy and undergraduate studies), “all while providing a range of modern amenities to account for growing seminarian needs,” Fr. Birchall adds.
