Habemus Papam! We Joyously Welcome and Pray for Pope Leo XIV (Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost)

USML/Mundelein Seminary
Day of Giving
May 20, 2025
Each year, as our seminarians, newly ordained priests, and lay leaders walk out of the chapel at the heart of our campus, they pass under a powerful command: “Euntes Ergo Docete.” — “Go Therefore and Teach.” This is not just a reminder. It is a mission.
On our Day of Giving, we invite you to support the formation of these future leaders by making a gift to the University of Saint Mary of the Lake / Mundelein Seminary.
Formed in Tradition.
Trained in Compassion.
Prepared to Shepherd.
“I will give you shepherds after my own heart.” – Jeremiah 3:15
Jesus first formed his disciples by interacting with them directly, then sending them out to encounter others. Through their encounters with others, the disciples’ minds and hearts were conformed to the mind and heart of Jesus Christ. At the University of St. Mary of the Lake, we follow Jesus’ example by grounding all our programs on the principle of encounter-based formation.
