ALUMNI GOLF OUTING
On Thursday, July 10, the alumni of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake, Mundelein Seminary, had their annual golf outing at Pine Meadow Golf Club.
The event provided an opportunity for them to reconnect and celebrate their shared experiences.
Following the outing, the priests were graced by the esteemed presence of Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, who joined them for a prayer and a delightful reception in the University of Saint Mary of the Lake Dining Hall.
Over dinner, the priests continued their conversations and had the chance to strengthen the bonds of friendship forged during their seminary years.
