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.{{Cite web |last=Advocate |first=Bruce Nolan Special to The |title=1984 world's fair: Good times, spurred growth left lasting memories with the locals |url=https://www.nola.com/news/1984-world-s-fair-good-times-spurred-growth-left-lasting-memories-with-the-locals/article_ff8bbe72-e4fd-5021-9444-4d522eed7a90.html |access-date=February 7, 2023 |website=NOLA.com |date=November 5, 2014 |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Abp.
