Calvert House

Have you volunteered at Calvert House in any one of our liturgical or community ministries? We want to celebrate and thank you for all your hard work this academic year!

Please join us for pizza and fellowship at 6pm this Wednesday, May 20th immediately following Holy Hour 🙏🏻

The Fulton Sheen Adoration Chapel is back open for prayer!

You must be an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion to lift the veil on the monstrance to pray before the exposed Blessed Sacrament. Please contact Fr. Andrew if you want to be trained for that ministry.

Thanks to the great generosity of those who attended our Alumni & Friends Gala, we reached and exceeded our match goal, raising a total of $105,147, nearly double that of last year! Thank you very much to all of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers.

Join us for a sacred music concert at Bond Chapel this Saturday, May 16 at 4pm. Featuring the Calvert House St. Francis de Sales Choir, there will be selections for choir, organ, piano and violin by Palestrina, Couperin, Bach, Franck, Duruflé, and more! A reception with light refreshments will follow. Admission is FREE with a suggested donation.

Are you a Business or Law student at the University of Chicago? Join our friends at the Lumen Christi Institute this Thursday, May 14th for another exciting Catholics at Booth event! Patrick McCaskey, Vice Present for Special Projects and Board Member of the Chicago Bears football team will reflect on the relationship between faith and work over the course of his fascinating career and history with the Chicago Bears. Lunch will be provided.

Many thanks to everyone who came out for our 2nd Annual Alumni & Friends Gala 🥂

Last weekend, we partnered with our friends at the Lumen Christi Institute to spend an evening together at the Monastery of the Holy Cross. Here's a look at our time of prayer and breaking bread 📸

Calvert House is excited to introduce our new chaplain and director, Fr. Patrick Baikauskas, OP. We will formally welcome him next Saturday, at the Alumni & Friends dinner, and he will officially start on July 1.

Fr. Patrick is a Dominican because Cardinal Cupich has asked the Dominicans to staff Calvert House upon Fr. Andrew's departure on June 30. Fr. Patrick has been a Dominican priest in ministry with 20 years of experience; 12 years of that experience was spent in college campus ministry at Purdue University. He is also the host of the 'Frank Friar Fridays' podcast 🎙️ Listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frank-friar-fridays/id1533151062

Welcome, Fr. Patrick!
