'''St. Joseph's Inter-diocesan Seminary, [[Mangalore]]''' is a [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] seminary in [[Jeppu]], [[Mangalore]]. It was established by Fr. Joachim Miranda in 1763, and reestablished by Msgr Nicholas Pagani in 1878.

==History==
St Joseph's Interdiocesan Seminary, Mangalore by Fr. Joachim Miranda, a [[Goan Catholic]] priest, was first established in 1763 at Monte Mariano, some 13 km east of Mangalore town. However, during the [[Captivity of Mangalorean Catholics at Seringapatam|captivity of Mangalorean Catholics]] under Tipu Sultan in 1784, the seminarians were dispersed or sent to Verapoly and for the next few decades, there is no record to show that a Seminary existed in Mangalore.<ref name="diocese">{{cite web|url=http://www.ucanews.com/dps/html/dps-ia_mangalore.php|title=Diocese of Mangalore|publisher=Union of Catholic Asian News|accessdate=2009-12-22}}</ref> However, in 1843, a certain Fr. Pius Noronha was said to have been the Rector of the Seminary at Monte Mariano. However, during the captivity of [[Mangalorean Catholics]] under Tipu Sultan in 1784, the Churches in [[South Canara]] were destroyed. For the few decades that followed, there is no record to show that a Seminary existed in South Canara.<ref name="seminary">{{cite web|url=http://stjosephseminary.org/aboutus.aspx|title=About Us|publisher=St. Joseph's Seminary, Mangalore|accessdate=2009-12-22|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728060721/http://stjosephseminary.org/aboutus.aspx|archivedate=28 July 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

The Jesuits took over from the [[Carmelite]]s in 1878, and the very first act of the new Vicar Apostolic, Msgr Nicholas Pagani, was to reorganise the Seminary. Hence the present St Joseph's Seminary came into being on 11 January 1879. On 3 December 2009, St Joseph's Seminary "Seminary day", the seminary had reached an important milestone in that it had formed more than 1,930 priests in its history of 131 years.<ref name="semday">{{cite web|url=http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=69173|title=Mangalore: St Joseph's Seminary Celebrates 'Seminary day'|last=Lobo|first=Rohan |date=2009-12-03|publisher=[[Daiji World|Daijiworld Media Pvt Ltd Mangalore]]|accessdate=2009-12-22}}</ref><ref name="post">{{cite news|url=http://www.christianpost.com/article/20031206/st-joseph-seminary-mangalore-reaches-125-years/index.html|title=St. Joseph Seminary, Mangalore, reaches 125 years|last=Chatterjee |first=Surojit |newspaper=[[The Christian Post]]|accessdate=2009-12-22}}</ref>
