St. John Vianney Theolog- ical Seminary opened five years later after a prophetic plan put into place by Cardinal J. Francis Sta¨ord and carried out by Archbishop Charles Chaput. This fall marks the 20th anniversary of St. John Vianney Theological Semi- nary opening. This seminary would become a place where "priestly formation really focused on the priest being a man of prayer," said Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila. Cardinal Sta¨ord, then Archbishop of Denver, bought the land for the sem- inary from the Vincentian Fathers who were running the previous seminary. Cardinal Sta¨ord chose then-Father Aquila to look into the seminary, and study the "Paris model," the idea of having di¨erent parish houses of sem- inarians throughout the diocese. Archbishop Aquila and Monsignor Michael Glenn visited Paris and Ars, France to study their seminaries and make plans for the opening of St. John Vianney in Denver. Cardinal Sta¨ord drew up blueprints but was called to Rome by Pope John Paul II after getting to know him during the Pope's visit in 1993. Archbishop Chaput, Cardinal Sta¨ord's successor, put the plan in motion. Cardinal Sta¨ord's presence in Rome led to an aªliation with the Pontifical Lateran University there, and the sem- inary became an accredited institution. A bold step for priestly formation, and now a leader in the New Evangelization St. John Vianney Theological Seminary has been at the forefront of priestly formation since it opened in 1999. It celebrates its 20th anniver- sary as an institution next month. PHOTO COURTESY OF ST. JOHN VIANNEY FACEBOOK PAGE
