Our campus was built in 1916 to house Little Rock College until it closed in 1930. From 1930 to 1967 St. John Home Mission Seminary was located at this site. In 1968, the campus was renamed St. John Catholic Center and became the home of the offices of Diocese of Little Rock. Today it also serves as a retreat center and residence for retired diocesan priests. To learn more, see History of St. John Catholic Center. Visitors should check in at the reception desk located on the ground floor of Morris Hall for assistance. | Get Directions. | Reserve Space on Campus | Hours and Holiday Schedule
