Music Donation Collection says THANK YOU!

Farewell to Fr Bradley Zamora - Thank you for all you have blessed us with!

Dear St. Francis de Sales Family, 

It has been an absolute joy to journey with you these last five months. Gosh, you are such an amazing parish and a true community of disciples. I am so grateful that the Spirit led me to assist with the sacramental life of your parish and be a fellow disciple on the journey. I know that you continue to navigate this moment of uncertainty but your resilient faith in our Risen Lord will continue to give you hope and trust. 

I wanted to share that Cardinal Cupich has asked me to take leave of my ministry and teaching at the seminary and become the new Director and Chaplain of the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University. I am very excited for this new path ahead of me and I am looking forward to being able to journey with the many students of Northwestern University and also the greater community who make up the family of faith that is the Sheil Catholic Center. 

This new ministry, however, means that I will be saying “farewell” to my St. Francis de Sales family at the end of May, at least on a regular basis. You all have really filled my heart in so many ways since I arrived to “help out.” You embraced me as a member of your community and have uplifted me in so many varied ways and have allowed me to pray with you and for you. I’ll forever be grateful for the time we shared with one another. 

Please pray for me, for Mundelein Seminary and for the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University. 

On the Journey Together, 

Fr. Bradley bzamora@archchicago.org
