The most recognizable feature on the aerial photo is the Saint Vincent Archabbey Basilica, built by the Benedictine monks at the turn of the twentieth century. To the left of the Basilica is the recently-constructed Saint Vincent Parish Center, which housesthe offices of the parish, conference and meeting rooms, and the Basilica Gift Shop. In front of the Basilica is a statue of Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., first archabbot of Saint Vincent.
To the right of the Basilica is a small oval area, filled with colorful flowers surrounding a stone marker denoting the site of the first Saint Vincent Parish. For more on the history of Saint Vincent, refer to our history pages. The prominent building behind and to the right of the monument is Leander Hall, a residence for Seminary students. Tucked back adjoining Leander Hall to the left is the Elizabeth J. Roderick Center, which houses Archabbey and Seminary offices, and also offers dormitory space for seminarians. Beside those buildings, tucked into a corner, is the unique chapel for seminarians, designed by Pittsburgh architect Tasso Katselas. Mr. Katselas also designed the Monastery, the building on the right side of the photo. Only the Benedictine monks who reside there may enter the building.
