Experiencing the Catholic Church in Uganda
"Sister Kathleen Mitchell, assistant professor of pastoral theology, recently had the honor of visiting Uganda for the ordination and first masses of Father Peter Walusimbi and Father Falasiko Matovu, two members of the Mundelein Seminary Class of 2021."
"In this interview, she reflects on her memories of being immersed in the country’s culture, meeting its people and participating in such a joyful moment for the Church in Uganda. She also discusses her own vocation story and her experience teaching the next generation of parish priests at the seminary."

Each stage in life brings opportunities for discernment
"Years ago, when I was in graduate school, I had a wonderful spiritual director who would often ask me this simple question when I was in the midst of discernment: 'What is it the season for?'"
"It was a profoundly freeing question, because it honored that my life had varying seasons, times when certain things were called for and other things needed to be released. While I was finishing my Ph.D. studies, I often had to remind myself that I needed to direct the majority of my attention and time to them if I was ever going to finish despite the many other rich possibilities calling to me."

Father Dan Horan: The Beautiful Mess of Personhood
"If we believe it's all up to us, then we think we have to have static, clear, concrete answers…but God continually creates." – Father Dan Horan
In this episode of Messy Jesus Business podcast, Sister Julia Walsh talks with Father Daniel Horan, professor, author and columnist. They discuss how he came to discover his vocation as a Franciscan, and they consider the importance of encouraging one another as Christians. Father Dan also talks about what he calls Holy Spirit atheism, which he says puts us at risk of acting in ways that are contrary to the will of God. "The Holy Spirit tends to fall off the radar. The Holy Spirit is the proverbial third wheel of the Holy Trinity," he explains.
