About St. Joseph Minor Seminary
According to Wikipedia, St. Joseph Minor Seminary is a Catholic secondary school in Sint-Niklaas, Diocese of Ghent, Belgium. There were previously a Recollect monastery and a seminary on the site. History The first buildings were built starting April 1689, the friars were authorised to found the second monastery in the city. The Chapel of Saint Anthony was completed in 1692 and in 1696 Bishop Philips Erard van der Noot, bishop of Ghent consecrated the church, in baroque style and famous for the major carvings of Jan Boeksent. The friars lived there in the conventual buildings until the French Revolution and the French occupation of Belgium. After they were chased out they never returned. It was later sold to Bishop Maurice-Jean de Broglie who converted the old monastery into a Minor seminary dedicated to Saint Joseph. Many important priests were educated here. For the centenary of the school in 1908, Pope Pius X sent his personal pontifical blessing.
