For about 30 years, home to three San Antonio archbishops has been an 800-square-foot apartment above administrative offices at Assumption Seminary.

By late summer, the doors will open on a new $1.1 million house for Archbishop José Gomez on the same seminary campus. Called the Good Shepherd Center, the 5,000-square-foot building will be paid for by private donations, San Antonio archdiocese officials said.

Donors described it as a long-awaited upgrade for Gomez and his successors, a reward for his long hours and a tool for future fundraising and improved hospitality of religious and civic dignitaries.
