Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary’s building was built in 1932 for the Carmelite Sisters but wasn’t used by the seminary until 2008.

Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary

The seminary program is named in honor of Bishop Simon Bruté, the first bishop of the Diocese of Vincennes, and was established by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis in 2004 to prepare college seminarians for major seminary.

All seminarians live together and participate as a community in an ongoing formation program centered upon daily celebration of the Eucharist and praying the Liturgy of the Hours.

Marian University is a Catholic University dedicated to excellence in teaching and learning in the Franciscan and liberal arts tradition.

Marian University

Bishop Bruté seminarians are enrolled as students at Marian University, located one mile south of the seminary. Most seminarians take part in intramural sports or various other clubs and organizations on campus. Students attend class with other Marian University students and eat their meals in the campus dining hall.

Bishop Bruté students study philosophy and theology with a distinguished faculty who are actively involved in the lives of the students they teach.
