The events leading to the formation and development of Holy Apostles College & Seminary proved challenging and, at times, painful for those people who joined Ménard in this enterprise. Still, it appeared from the start that the "Hand of God" was truly at work in the concept, acquisition, and development of Holy Apostles.
This study documents the founding and initial development of Holy Apostles and highlights several significant events from the first forty years of its service to the Catholic Church.
Robert L. Anello, M.S.A., a member of the Society of the Missionaries of the Holy Apostles, participated in priesthood formation at Holy Apostles College & Seminary, earning a Master of Divinity degree and a Master of Arts degree in Church history prior to his ordination as a Catholic priest in 2007.

He is Associate Director of Human Formation at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology in Franklin, Wisconsin.
