Saint Joseph Hall

Saint Joseph Hall before fire

March 8th

On March 8th, 2014, Saint Joseph Hall caught fire and was a near total loss. Built in 1872, Saint Joseph Hall was the oldest building on campus and in its 142 year lifespan had served as the Seminary’s dormitory, chapel, and infirmary.

Lost in the fire were the Band Room on the second floor, the Music Practice Rooms on the third floor, the Religion classroom and Spiritual Directors’ offices on the first floor along with the business, facilities and development offices. Most importantly, no one was injured.

The pictures below show the extent of the damage better than any words can describe. Or click here to watch the fire video.
