List of Pontifical North American College alumni



This is a partial list of notable alumni of the Pontifical North American College in Rome, a Catholic educational institution that forms and educates seminarians and student priests for dioceses in the United States (as well as Canada and Australia). It was founded in 1859.

If the prelates and priests listed here completed their normal course of pre-ordination theology studies while at the North American College (in general, the bachelor and licentiate), only their year of ordination is given; if they were sent to the College for graduate studies or continuing education after ordination, then that graduate degree or program is listed.
