Diocese of Covington Seminary Ball, Erlanger

This is the 13th Annual Seminary Ball of the “modern era.”  However, the history of the “Seminary Ball” actually goes back to October of 1951, with the foundation of a Diocesan Council of the National Council of Catholic Women, and the first Seminary Guild Ball in 1922  The last Seminary Guild Ball, which was in its 28th year, was held at Summit Hills Country Club on January 30, 1982.

In 2010, His Excellency Roger J. Foys, Tenth Bishop of the Diocese of Covington, reinstituted the Seminary Ball in support of our seminarians and their education and formation. In 2023, Bishop John Iffert welcomed a record crowd of 650 attendees.
