Holy Name Seminary is a former Catholic high school seminary located in Madison, Wisconsin. The building currently houses offices for the Diocese of Madison as well as an apartment community named Holy Name Heights.

History[]

The site was a Catholic high school seminary from 1964 to 1995. It was converted into a pastoral center in 1998 and became known as the Bishop O'Connor Catholic Pastoral Center and has since then housed a number of Catholic organizations, including Catholic Charities and Relevant Radio. In 2015, it underwent a $23 million renovation, with a portion of the building being converted into a residential community of 53 apartments named Holy Name Heights.[1]

It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[2]

The seminary's chapel had never had an organ until after 2017, when a 1,187-pipe Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ was restored and installed in an 18-month project.[3]
