Epiphany Apostolic College, formerly known as the Josephite Collegiate Seminary, was a Catholic minor seminary founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1889 by John R. Slattery for the Mill Hill Missionaries, a UK-based society of apostolic life. The seminary soon came under the service of the Josephites, an American offshoot of the Mill Hill Missionaries serving African Americans.[1][2] Charles Uncles, the first African-American Catholic priest trained and ordained in the United States, studied there.[1]
The seminary later moved to New Windsor, New York in 1925, and was merged into the former Our Lady of Hope Seminary in 1970.[3][4] The college building later became Epiphany Apostolic High School, which closed its doors in 1975. It is now the site of a public middle school.
History

For several decades in the early to late 20th century, racial politics led to the seminary being closed to most African Americans.[1]
