Text Box: Mount St. Alphonsus was built by the Redemptorist Congregation between 1904 and 1907. Redemptorist seminarians came to the Mount for their theology studies after spending 7 years in initial formation.

The seminary was a 
self-sufficient 
community.  Even the 
wine used for mass 
was made on the 
property. Over the 
years, neighboring 
sections of land were 
donated to the Redemptorists, bringing the original 235 acres to its current 400.

Due to the diminishing number of seminarians, students have been trained at the Washington Theological Union in Washington, D.C. since 1985. Since then the Redemptorist Retreat Ministry has grown steadily.
