Opened as a Roman Catholic Seminary in l893 and restructured into an Institute for theological and ministerial studies in l98l, St. Bernard’s has steadily pursued a course of dedication and service to a changing Church in a changing world. The founder, Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid, an educational pioneer, was bold and innovative in his vision of theological education. Succeeding bishops of Rochester also left their mark on the development of St. Bernard’s. Archbishop Thomas Hickey laid the groundwork for its financial stability. Bishop James E. Kearney left a legacy of deeply rooted personal devotion. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen introduced changes enabling the traditional seminary to meet the challenges of the Second Vatican Council.
