SHORT HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL Print

Cassadaga SeminaryFounded by the Assumptionists in 1960, Our Lady of Lourdes Seminary was a boarding school for young men considering Religious life or priesthood. During its brief seven-year history it was home to roughly 25 Assumptionists religious and almost 300 students.

Located in Cassadaga New York (Chautauqua County) the campus of a dozen buildings overlooked scenic Cassadaga Lakes. Besides the classical, college preparatory program of studies, perhaps the most appreciated and memorable aspect of the school was its family spirit which fostered many life-long friendships.

The goal of this website is to help reconnect faculty and former students who may have lost touch over the years and to encourage these same individuals to share a bit of their history with us.
