The past usually brings up all kinds of feelings. For some, looking back can be a comfort and a healer. Many alumni have expressed how important it's been for them to often touch and feel certain items related to their time spent at St. Anthony's.

 

     At the annual SAS Alumni reunions, returning students get the chance to do just that:

sit at a school desk or a refectory table, thumb through an old chemistry textbook, swing one of the signature baseball bats again, or even feel the cordurouy grooves in a thin bedspread. 

 

      We all have our own memories of the seminary and the things that made the school real for each of us. Sometimes the next best thing to actually holding an object from the past in our hands is the opportunity to view an image of that object and remember how it made us feel. 

 

     Here in the Artifacts section you'll find scanned images of familiar (and not-so-familiar) objects from St. Anthony's Seminary. There's also a "walk through" of the seminary (see "A Day in the Life"), courtesy of Steve Raths (Class of '67).
