The college is fully-accredited and offers Bachelor Of Arts degrees in Philosophy in either Liberal Arts or Religious Studies to men seeking eventual ordination as Priests in the Roman Catholic Church . The college also has a two-year pre- Theology program for students who have already attained a college degree. After attending St. Joseph's Seminary, seminarians wishing to continue priestly studies will attend a major seminary, such as Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, La. It has a long history of forming men to the priesthood for the Gulf South region. Those who attend St. Ben's experience the unique gift of the Benedictine Order, liturgy. The Liturgy of the Hours sung in community as well as the special liturgies throughout the year are a source of spiritual inspiration to the seminarians and the locals. There is also the tradition of a flag football game, called Bonfire, between St. Ben's and the major seminary, Notre Dame. This tradition has gone on for well over 70 years. The annual game takes place in a field on the vast property of the Abbey the Friday before Thanksgiving. The students at St. Ben's spend weeks building a massive bonfire out of the downed trees on the 1,200 acre property. After the game, the two seminaries join together to share the warmth of the Bonfire as well as each other's company. Notable alumni: EXTERNAL LINKS |
