CAMPUS SUMMARY
Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary was founded in 1948 by Archbishop Vitaly (Maximenko) under the auspices of Holy Trinity Monastery. It is a postsecondary educational institution that offers a five-year study program leading to a Bachelor of Theology, conferred by the State University of New York. Nestled in the hills and surrounded by fields, the seminary calls to mind the proverbial treasure hidden in the field, which the merchant discovered and was then willing to sell everything he possessed in order to obtain it. Many indeed have gladly parted with everything and come to acquire that which the seminary and the monastery have to offer.

The life of the seminary is intimately interwoven with that of the monastery. This arrangement offers an exceptional opportunity for candidates for the priesthood to experience firsthand the life in a community fully immersed in the Orthodox way of life. There is an obvious spiritual advantage in studying theology in a setting where it does not remain abstract and academic, but is directly applied in everyday life. The seminarians are in constant contact with the monastic brotherhood; they participate with them in prayer and Divine Services and work alongside the monks in their obediences. Returning alumni invariably point to this interaction as the greatest treasure acquired during their seminary years.
