The Forward! Together as One campaign builds on the lasting values of a strong, Catholic, liberal arts tradition.
Through a commitment to enrich the mind, body and spirit, the Mount is honored and privileged to educate the next generation of Mounties to lead lives of significance in service to God and others.
To help the Mount build upon its storied history and grow and adapt to the 21st century and beyond, we need support from friends and family like you to develop new facilities and take care of the buildings we know and love.

Over the years, the seminary has continued to grow, and with it the living areas and classroom spaces have needed to expand as well. Since construction of McSweeny Hall in 1906, the seminary has added Mulcahy, Gallagher and Keating as housing and classroom spaces. While these iconic structures are a symbol of strength for all who have walked their halls, they’re now in greater need of repairs and upgrades. That’s why through the Forward! campaign, the seminary seeks to ultimately raise $4.5 million to fund improvements to heating and cooling systems, and restroom facilities as well as beautifying the building.
Support the Seminary
A very special path between Mount St. Mary’s Seminary and the National Shrine Grotto, trodden by hundreds of thousands of individuals over more than 200 years, is known as “The Way” to Mother Mary’s National Shrine Grotto.
This pathway is in need of repair. By preserving and restoring it, we aim to create a stronger geographical connection between the university, seminary and the National Shrine Grotto while upholding its natural serenity and nurture the site as a place of prayer and consolation through restoration and growth.
