Sponsor a seminarian
Mundelein seminarians represent the global face of the Church, preparing men from 39 dioceses across the United States and around the world. This year Mundelein Seminary, the largest Catholic seminary in North America, will provide educational and formational preparation for more than 200 seminarians to serve as priests of Jesus Christ. Each school year, our community is tasked with raising $3 million in scholarship needs in order to prepare the next generation of parish priests.
