History
Cardinal Muench Seminary opened in the fall of 1962 with 41 students, 38 freshman and 3 juniors. The men lived at the seminary at 1310 North Broadway, Fargo, ND, and attended classes at Shanley High School, located at the time on the property adjacent to the seminary. The first graduates received their diplomas from Shanley High School. The school went through many changes and affiliations. With the departure of the last high school seminarian in the spring of 2001, the high school program ended.
On April 8, 2010, Bishop Aquila announced that the program of priestly formation at Cardinal Muench Seminary would come to an end. That day was Friday, May 13, 2011, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
During its 49 year history, 923 young men participated in the various Cardinal Muench Seminary programs, 364 graduated from the High School or College programs, and, as of the spring of 2013, 123 have been ordained priests.
