Seminary Class Photographs

One of the tasks of the Centennial was to complete the collection of historical photographs in The Saint Paul Seminary archives. When the Centennial began, we had copies of 28 ordination classes. During the Centennial year we acquired 30 additional photographs from alumni and friends towards the completion of the ordination class collection. We still need copies of the class pictures for the years listed below. If you have a photograph of any one of these classes, please send it to or contact the Office of Institutional Advancement, 2260 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105; 651/962-5795. We will make a copy of the photograph and return it to you.
