| What has been your favorite/most memorable story of your time at Mundelein thus far? | One of the best parts of seminary for me has been coming to know and love my brother seminarians. They have been a loving and supportive group of men for me. Whenever we pray together, have meals, or do anything, I experience great joy. They have also helped me to grow deeper in love with God and have helped me to realize and change bad habits that kept me from being a bridge to Christ. |
