Regina Mundi, or "Queen of the World", began as a Junior Seminary. The building was commissioned in 1963, by Bishop John Cody, to be an institution for training of candidates entering diocesan priesthood. The schedule was extremely strict.
The day began at 6:45am for Mass, breakfast at 7:40, Rosary in the chapel at 8:40. The students then went to class for the rest of the day. Study Hall took place from 7:00pm–9:00pm, and lights off were at 9:45pm.
