History

Notre Dame Seminary seen from Carrollton Avenue.

The seminary was founded in 1923 and the building was designed by architect General Allison Owen.

The seminary hosts a bronze copy of Ivan Meštrović's sculpture Christ and the Samaritan Woman which was exhibited at the Vatican pavilion at the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition.[1][2] It was installed in front of Shaw Hall and dedicated in 1989 by Archbishop Philip Hannan.[3]

In February 2013, it played host to an exhibit featuring pieces from other institutions (such as the

Pope John Paul II Center in Kraków, Poland), about Pope John Paul II, called, "I Have Come To See You Again."; it began its U.S. tour at NDS.[4]

In Spring 2021, the seminary hosted a replica of the Angels Unawares statue, which was initially exhibited at the Catholic University of America and was to return there permanently after its tour.
