With approximately 140 students, Sacred Heart School of Theology is North America's largest Catholic seminary focused
on preparing men over 30 for priesthood. Sacred Heart's expertise ensures a rich, rewarding and effective formation experience for older men, while rigorously following the Program of Priestly Formation, 5th Edition. Thirty-four bishops and religious superiors entrust their seminarians to Sacred Heart. Our core program is our accredited Master of Divinity Program. About 100 seminarians, with an average age of 43, are in this program. Roughly 40 non-seminarian students are in other programs. The school, founded in 1932, is an apostolate of the Priests of the Sacred Heart. It's located in Hales Corners, a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
