Mundelein Seminary honored esteemed alumnus Monsignor Michael Boland (Class of 1986) with the 2020 Joseph Cardinal Bernardin "As Those Who Serve" Award at the 27th annual Celebration of Mundelein event on July 16. Although the pandemic forced the event to be streamed online this year, hundreds of people tuned in to watch the award presentation, interviews with seminarians and alumni priests, a virtual campus tour, and musical performances by seminarians. A $50,000 matching gift opportunity from an anonymous donor kickstarted the event's fundraising in support of the formation of future parish priests discerning their call at the seminary. Mundelein Seminary is home to 150 seminarians from 30 dioceses across the country and around the world. Watch the celebration online at www.usml.edu/celebration.
