Congratulations to our faculty members who recently published new books: Dr. Melanie Barrett, Father Emery deGaal, Dr. Matthew Levering, Dr. Patricia Pintado-Murphy, and Rev. Edward T. Oakes, S.J., (Posthumous). The authors were honored at a reception where they each shared anecdotes, gratitude, and the method and inspiration behind their books with the Mundelein community.
The Mundelein Faculty are dedicated to the formation and education of seminarians, but their work goes far beyond the campus. Many of our professors are recognized as leaders in their fields, serving as members or experts to pontifical academies, councils, and the International Theological Commission. They are sought-after speakers nationally and internationally, and we are blessed to have them on our campus.
