This Saturday, November 21st, 18 candidates will receive the minor orders of Porter, Lector, Exorcist and Acolyte, which will be conferred by his Excellency Bishop Robert Finn.

The ceremony will take place in the Chapel of Sts. Peter and Paul of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary.  Because of new restrictions due to the current situation, attendance will be limited to immediate family of the Ordinandi, and there will be no public reception afterward.

Mundelein Basketball Tournament: January 17-19, 2020

To open the Spring Semester, the Basketball team of OLGS  traveled to Mundelein Seminary to defend their title at the Annual Father Pat O’Malley Invitational Basketball Tournament. The tournament brings in over 15 seminaries from across the country to put their basketball skills to the test. Battling through a tough line-up of teams, OLGS again won the tournament, making them the first team in ten years to win back to back tournaments. Thanks to a video live-stream, the seminarians and priests back in Denton were able to cheer on their team during the weekend and witness the big victory.
