2023 De Sales Invitational

De Sales Invitational

The 2023 De Sales Invitational was generously underwritten by Tom & Lynne VanHimbergen, Kevin & Linda Steiner, Pat Connaughton, and Fr. Gerry Brittain.

The 3rd annual De Sales Invitational basketball tournament featured 12 teams from around the United States. It was an extraordinary weekend of basketball, but also a lot of brotherhood, for the 250 men who have chosen to give their lives to Christ. Between games, the men prayed together, ate together, and enjoyed a camaraderie that strengthens the future of our Church. Thank you to everyone who participated, from the seminarians and priests, to the many families who came to cheer the seminarians on!

Our own Shormen won the intensely-fought championship game over St. Paul Seminary in overtime. Our Lady of Guadalupe came in third. Congratulations to all!

2022 De Sales Invitational

de Sales Invitational

The second annual De Sales Invitational hosted 12 teams from around the nation on February 18 - 20, 2022. Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary won for the second year in a row by defeating Saint Francis de Sales Seminary 53-47, in a repeat of last year's championship game. Moreau placed third. It was an amazing weekend for the hundreds of seminarians who traveled to Wisconsin to pray and play together. 

2022 Games can be viewed on YouTube.

The 2022 De Sales Invitational was generously underwritten by Tom and Lynne VanHimbergen.


2021 De Sales Invitational

The innaugural De Sales Invitational Basketball Tournament was held in February 2021. Six teams from Midwestern seminaries came together for a weekend of brotherhood and fun. The three days of camaraderie were particularly welcome because all of the seminaries were living in some state of quarantine at the time. An excellent team from Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Nebraska defeated the SFDS team in the championship game. Kenrick-Glennon placed third.

The 2021 De Sales Invitational was graciously underwritten by Tom and Lynne VanHimbergen.
