[edit] History
St. Augustine's Seminary was established in 1913 to train diocesan priests. The entire funding for the building of the seminary was donated by Eugene O'Keefe, the wealthy Toronto brewer and philanthropist, though O'Keefe died months before its completion.
In 1969 the TST was created as an independent federation of 7 schools of theology, including the divinity faculties of St. Augustine's Seminary. Within its own federation, U of T granted all but theology or divinity degrees. Since 1978, by virtue of a change made in its charter, the U of T has granted theology degrees conjointly with St. Augustine's Seminary and other TST's member institutions. [1]
