Rendering of Queen of Apostles Seminary, operated by the Society of African Missions in Dedham, Massachusetts from 1946 to the late 1960s.

Queen of Apostles Seminary was a minor college seminary in Dedham, Massachusetts, United States. It was established in 1946 by the Society of African Missions, and closed in the late 1960s.

## History

[edit]

The Society of African Mission's American Province was established in 1941 amidst significant growth in vocations.[1][2] In 1945, the society had acquired land in Dedham, Massachusetts[2] to hold a new minor seminary, a location chosen because of its proximity to Boston, which had a large Catholic population.[3]

Queen of Apostles Seminary was incorporated on 26 December 1945 by the SMA's inaugural US provincial superior Ignatius Lissner and opened in 1946 to educate and train college-age SMA seminarians.[1][2][4] Fr. James McConnell, SMA, was the seminary's first president, and Fr. Michael Moran, SMA, initially served as treasurer and clerk.[4]

The seminary closed in the early 1980s and was used to house an art collection owned by the society, which still maintained a priest residence across the street.[2][5]

In the late 1980s, the building was purchased by Northeastern University and has served ever since as the university's Dedham satellite campus.[6]
