The operation of the seminary is a collaborative effort between the Catholic Diocese of Spokane and Gonzaga University.
Students take classes at the university while receiving their formation at the seminary.
Located near the main entrance to the Gonzaga University campus, the seminary consists of a cluster of buildings with the centerpiece being a large brick residence built as a family home in 1900. The main building houses student rooms, Rector's quarters, mailroom and common rooms. In the late 1950's an annex was attached to the main building, which now provides a chapel, offices, and conference space on the main level. The lower level contains a laundry room, TV lounge, and student rooms. An additional building provides living quarters for two priests who assist with the seminary formation program.
