Notre Dame Seminary is a Catholic seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana. It operates under the auspices of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

It serves the other six Catholic dioceses of the Ecclesiastical Province of New Orleans, six additional dioceses in the Southern United States and Africa, and four Catholic religious institutes. It offers the graduate degrees of M.Div. and M.A. in theological studies.

In 2016, the reported enrollment was around 130 seminarians.

History

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

In February 2013, it played host to an exhibit featuring pieces from other institutions (such as the Vatican Collections and the Pope John Paul II Center in Krakow, Poland), about Pope John Paul II, called, "I Have Come To See You Again."; it began its U.S. tour at NDS.

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.
