What has been your favorite/most memorable story of your time at Mundelein thus far?

Light the Night youth event in November 2016. 800+ people, many visiting the Seminary for the first time, on a clear Fall evening, enjoying the beauty of our campus illuminated at night and, more importantly, the conversations, connections, sharing the faith, great testimonies and witness talks, and gathering together in contemplative prayer and reflection. An evening of prayer and reconciliation, with a Eucharistic Procession from the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception leading to Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the Cupola by the lake, and then the Celebration of the Eucharist outdoors, with people filling the terraces, the lake in the background behind the altar, and more than 30 Priests concelebrating. A truly memorable evening!!!

How can Mundelein's donors and community pray for you?

Oremus pro invicem:  Let us prayer for each other, to grow in closeness with the Lord and with each other.
