St. Joseph's Seminary and College, sometimes referred to as Dunwoodie after the Dunwoodie neighborhood of Yonkers, New York in which it is located, is the major seminary of the Archdiocese of New York.[1] Since 2012, it has also been the major seminary for the Diocese of Brooklyn and the Diocese of Rockville Centre.
The seminary is about 16 miles north of the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in midtown Manhattan, the seat of the Archbishop of New York.
Its primary mission is to form men for the priesthood in the Catholic Church, whether in dioceses in the United States or abroad. The seminary also serves as the major seminary for the Community of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, who study alongside the diocesan seminarians, but live off campus at a friary in Yonkers.
It is accredited as a college through the Middle States Commission on Higher Education[2] and as a seminary by the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum). It offers the degrees of Bachelor of Sacred Theology, Master of Divinity and Master of Arts.[1]
