History

Construction began in 1881, and the school was completed in 1884. The first students began classes there on September 22, 1884. [cite web|title=St. John's History|url=http://www.bahistory.org/StJohnsHistory.html|accessdate=2007-02-27]

Boston College agreed to purchase 43 acres of the seminary's property in June, 2004. The archdiocese sold the land to ward off bankruptcy. However, the seminary remains open.
