About this Event

Father Manno is the youngest of four children from a family in Palatine, Illinois. He studied music at Northern Illinois University. But when he started taking sign language classes at a local parish with a priest, he realized that the Catholic faith was much more alive (and fun!) than he thought previously. It was during that time that he discerned the Lord’s call to the priesthood. He was accepted at Mundelein Seminary, where he studied philosophy and theology. 

Father Manno was ordained to the priesthood in 2016. “I can honestly say, that was the happiest day of my life.  I cannot imagine doing anything else.” 

He served at St. Patrick's for a brief time and is currently the Pastor at Christ the Teacher University Parish at NIU.
