Mass and Holy Hour for Vocations with Mundelein Seminary
Join us at St. Mary Immaculate Parish 15629 S. Rt. 59, Plainfield IL. 60544 for Mass and Holy Hour on February 8 at 7:00 pm to pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and celebrate Mundelein Seminary’s centennial. Seminary staff will be bringing a beautiful historic monstrance that was used at the 1926 International Eucharistic Congress held on the seminary grounds. This 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.
For this special Holy Hour, we will be using a beautiful and historic monstrance from Mundelein Seminary. The monstrance was a gift to Cardinal Mundelein from Pope Pius XI for the 1926 International Eucharistic Congress in Chicago—the first Congress to be held in the United States. The monstrance was used in a Eucharistic Procession during the closing ceremony of the congress, which was held at Mundelein Seminary and attended by nearly 800,000 people.
