June 3, 2008 - With enthusiasm,
priests and seminarians descended upon the campus of Mundelein Seminary
on May 19, 2008, to attend a hands-on workshop on the celebration of
the Extraordinary Form of the Mass of the Roman Rite held at the
Cardinal Stritch Retreat House. For the next five days, these priests

but from all over the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Lithuania,

In order to better serve Catholics who wish

Cantius, whose charism is the "Restoration of the Sacred," to assist
the archdiocese by providing training for priests and seminarians in
the extraordinary form of the Roman rite according to the liturgical
books of 1962, and by offering catechesis to the faithful in this form
of the sacred liturgy.
