- History & Memorable Moments
St. John's University was founded in 1870, by the Vincentian Fathers of the Roman Catholic Church in response to an invitation by the first Bishop of Brooklyn, John Loughlin, to provide the youth of the city with an intellectual and moral education. St. John’s is highly influenced by its status as a Vincentian university.Vincentian values stem from the ideals and works of St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660), who is the Patron Saint of Christian Charity. Following the Vincentian tradition, the university sought to provide an education that encouraged greater involvement in social justice, charity, and service.Originally located in Brooklyn, St. John's moved to its current 100 acre location in Jamaica, Queens during the 1960s. After the transition, the St. John's University strike of 1966-1967 took place, which effected faculty to administration relations at universities across the nation. The university has often received national recognition as a result of its achievements in NCAA sports.[1]
