About this Event

Join fellow alumni of the St. Ambrose Seminary for a special reunion celebrating faith and friendship. Whether you continued your vocation in ordained ministry or discerned a different path, this gathering offers an opportunity to reconnect with classmates, revisit campus, and reflect on the shared experiences that shaped your journey.

The reunion is open to all former seminarians of St. Ambrose University. We look forward to welcoming alumni from across generations back to campus for two days of fellowship, worship, learning, and community.
