Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary-Overbrook Outcomes

Seminary graduates earn a median of $55,225 ten years after graduation, reflecting careers in religious ministry and Catholic education. The debt-to-earnings ratio sits around 0.77, meaning graduates typically borrow less than their first-year salary. Monthly loan payments consume roughly 8-10% of gross income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. Most graduates enter parish ministry, chaplaincy, or diocesan administration within the Philadelphia Archdiocese. The 100% male enrollment reflects the seminary's mission to train Catholic priests, who receive housing and benefits that supplement modest salaries. Only 18.75% of students take federal loans, indicating family support or diocesan funding. This represents a strong return on investment for those committed to religious vocations.
