Adoration for Vocations
After 12:00 pm Mass
Sun., March 27
Join us for a Holy Hour on March 27 right after 12:00pm Mass to pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and celebrate Mundelein Seminary's Centennial.
For this special event, Seminary staff will be bringing a beautiful historic monstrance (right). This monstrance was a gift to Cardinal Mundelein from Pope Pius XI for the 1926 International Eucharistic Congress - the first Congress to be held in the United States.
This event will be a great opportunity to come together in prayer and learn more about the vital mission of Mundelein Seminary in forming your future parish priests.
