Capstone Pilgrimage to Chicago - January, 2013

The slide show below contains images from the Capstone Seminar Pilgrimage to Chicago (Jan., 2013).  Captions describing each image can be viewed by clicking on the text icon in the lower left corner of every image.

The purpose of this annual Pilgrimage to Chicago is to engage in an integrated, Catholic experience in the big city – an amalgamation of culture, faith, politics, art, food, architecture, history etc.!

The students’ experiences include:

• riding the Amtrak train to Chicago
• walking around Windy City during rush-hour
• eating deep-dish pizza at the restaurant where it was invented
• chanting Vespers with Benedictine monks downtown
• viewing the city from atop the John Hancock skyscraper
• meeting with His Excellency, Bishop Joseph N. Perry
• attending a lecture by renowned Jesuit, Fr. Paul Mankowski
• visiting the Chicago Institute of Art
• enjoying Greek food in Chicago's Greektown

The images below are a window into the life of the group's four day pilgrimage to the Windy City.

"I told him his name was in the ledger too."

While at brunch we were amazed to meet and greet Tony Mockus, an actor who has played in several famous movies and is a parishioner of St. John Cantius.

This is a memorable scene where he plays the judge in "The Untouchables", a Chicago mob classic about Al Capone and Eliott Ness.  Click on the You Tube image to view...

Chicago Trip Installment 2: St. John Cantius

On Sunday we will be visiting the "daughter parish" of Saint Agnes: St. John Cantius. If it weren't for Msgr. Richard Schuler and Saint Agnes, St. John Cantius wouldn't be the beacon of Catholic Culture that it is today! Check out this video to gain a taste of the glory that is St. John's!
