2008 Chicago Reunion Update:
Your Invitation to Attend the Reunion

2008 Chicago Alumni Reunion Information
Please take note of the correct phone number for the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Reunion Headquarters
The Conference Center at the University of St. Mary of the Lake in the town of Mundelein, Illinois, is located just north of Chicago. This location was chosen because it is much less expensive than a downtown or airport hotel and because the beautiful university campus offers a natural beauty conducive to relaxation and leisurely visits with alumni friends. The old minor seminary building has been converted into a residence hall for the "Conference Center." All of our activities will be at the Conference Center, the main chapel, residence hall and the refectory; all buildings are air conditioned. We have access to the university grounds, indoor pool, chapel, etc. A few golf carts are available for those who need them to move from one building to another.

2010 Rome Reunion Update:
The 2010 reunion will be held in Rome on January 12 thru the 17th. The decision to hold the reunion in Rome in 2010 instead of 2009 (the 150th anniversary of the College) was to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Pius IXth's visit to the Casa.
