The Grand séminaire de Montréal ("Major Seminary of Montreal") is the centre for priestly formation of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Montreal.

History[]

The institution was founded by the Sulpicians in 1840 at the request of the then-Bishop of Montreal, Ignace Bourget. In 1878, a branch of Université Laval's Faculty of Theology was established in the Seminary. This academic partnership was transferred to the Université de Montréal in 1967. In 2020, the seminary moved from the historic building on Sherbrooke St. W. where it had operated since 1857, and its academic programs are now offered in partnership with the Faculty of Theology and Religious Sciences of Laval University.
