Rectors Circle
The Rectors Circle is a community of faithful and generous friends who care deeply about Mundelein Seminary and who have made a commitment to invest in our Catholic mission of educating and forming parish priests. The club recognizes both donors of major gifts designated for specific purposes on our historic campus and annual donors to the Annual Fund, which is flexible and serves many purposes to benefit the entire seminary community.
You will be recognized as a member of this premier giving society through a minimum $1,000 annual gift to the Annual Fund. You can even divide your gift into installments of your choice.
We extend a personal invitation to you to join this circle of friends who make a huge impact on Mundelein Seminary’s present and future. To join, simply print out the Statement of Acceptance and mail it to us, along with your gift, at the address on the statement.
You may be able to increase your contribution through employer matching gift programs. Many companies will match charitable contributions made by their employees, board members or retirees. Call Mundelein Seminary’s major gifts officer at 847-970-4951 to learn if your employer has a matching gift program.
Benefits of Membership
Rectors Circle members are invited to visit with the USML/Mundelein Seminary Rector/President and other friends at events held across the nation each year. You also will be invited to the Annual Rector’s Mass and Reception, held in the fall on our historic campus in Mundelein, IL.
At these events, you will hear firsthand from our Rector/President Very Rev. Robert Barron about the latest developments at Mundelein Seminary and about the university’s plans. More importantly, you will have the satisfaction of investing regularly in in the future of the priesthood.
