St. Patrick’s Seminary is hidden gem tucked behind open gates in Menlo Park

I have a feeling most Menlo Park residents drive right by St. Patrick’s Seminary on Middlefield Road without giving it a second thought. Maybe this photograph will make them turn up the driveway some day, go in the front door and ask to see the chapel —an awe-inspiring structure well worth the one block side trip.

The Seminary is at 320 Middlefield Road, just south of Menlo- Atherton High School and across the street from the United States Geological Survey. It’s open 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday.
