Why St. Bernard's?
Once a renowned seminary, now a dynamic graduate school of theology and ministry, our students come from all walks of life with a love for truth, faith, and ministry. Studying at St. Bernard’s, you will receive not just information, but formation: our courses, certificates, and programs all attempt to bring us into communion with God on the human, spiritual, pastoral, and intellection dimensions of life. Because of this, you will never be simply a number on a course roster: you will be a member of our community.
