Meet Our Students
Get to know our latest class of students preparing for religious life, and learn about their experience with Priests of the Sacred Heart (Dehonians).
Each year, we ask our students in formation to introduce themselves in their own words. The class of 2025 – 2026 includes four seminarians at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology.
Our students represent various cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds. Yet, they each have the same call to follow in the footsteps of our founder, Fr. Leo John Dehon. Click on the student’s name or photo to learn more about him.
