The Immaculate Conception of Mary graced her with the acceptance of God’s plan. Like Mary, our seminarians studying at Mundelein Seminary desire to emulate her trust in the Lord and His plan for their lives as they have answered “yes” to the Holy Spirit’s invitation to make God’s presence known to us in word and sacrament. Thank you for responding “YES” to the Holy Spirit’s invitation to share in the mission of forming future priests for the 21^st Century.
