Chaplaincy

College Chaplains Have Life-long Impact

“While I valued the classroom education at North Central College, it was the chaplains – George St. Angelo and Larry Bouldin – who helped put what I learned into a larger worldview.” - Don Schultz ’69  

The position of campus chaplain was first created in 1955 when President Harvey Geiger appointed Rev. George St. Angelo ’41 to the role. He was responsible for the leadership of campus religious activities and had an extraordinary vision for campus ministry.

St. Angelo developed the Campus Church Community; European travel opportunities for students; services opportunities in Chicago; high-profile campus speakers including Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., James Farmer and Henry Kissinger; and a student trip to Selma, Alabama to march for civil rights.

Sustaining A Tradition of Ministry

In these changing times, it is important that we provide funding to support and sustain the North Central College chaplaincy. In honor of North Central's first chaplain, the College has created the Rev. George and Betty St. Angelo Chaplaincy Endowment Fund as a way to ensure that this vitally important aspect of student life remain viable to future generations of students. 

Our goal is to raise a minimum of $2 million for the Chaplaincy Endowment. If you would like to be a part of ensuring the College's faith-based programs for future student generations, please visit our giving page.
