On a sunny Chicago day in a church filled with many smiles, Cardinal George ordained 11 men to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Chicago. The May 17 ordinations took place at St. Juliana Church, 7201 N. Oketo, instead of Holy Name Cathedral, which is closed for repairs. The graduates of the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary are a diverse group, with five from Poland, two from Tanzania, two from Mexico, one from Colombia and one from Ecuador.
