Hide Profile

Mundelein College program, established in 1976. The Hispanic Institute of Mundelein College began as a cooperative program sponsored by the pastoral ministry component of the Religious Studies Department, the bilingual bicultural program of the Education Department and the Spanish Department of the Modern Language Division. In 1976 a six week summer program with experienced faculty began. The weekly themes were: Culture and Ministry, Ministry to Hispanic Youth in the US, Ecclesial Communities Models, Sacramental Renewal, Historical Perspectives of Latin America, and Theology of Liberation. Carol Frances Jegen, BVM, directed and coordinated the Hispanic Institute. Rosilinda Ramerez served as director from 1978 to 1979 and Ken Ortega from 1986 to 1989. A major concern in planning was to link non-credit courses with higher level studies. This led to the creation of a Pastoral Competency Program called the Certificado de Capacitacion Pastoral as a way to help ministers progress from elementary formation to programs of higher studies. Toward the end of the 1980s Father William Conway of the Diocese of Joliet connected his diocesan Hispanic work with the Institute to create a full training program.
