Chase Hilgenbrinck Biography
Chase Michael Hilgenbrinck McDonald (born April 2, 1982 in Quincy, Illinois) is an American former soccer defender. He is most notable for walking away from his professional career to become a Catholic priest.
After graduating in 2004, Chase was undrafted by Major League Soccer (MLS) after a decent college career. Claudio Arias, the Chilean soccer coach at nearby Southern Wesleyan University, suggested going to Chile where he thought he could help Chase get a contract. Hilgenbrinck signed with Huachipato of Chile’s top division, but was loaned out to lower division club Deportes Naval. He eventually moved on to second-division club Ñublense and helped them to achieve promotion to Chile’s top flight. In all, he spent four seasons in Chile, with three clubs, and grew to become a star player.
In the summer of 2007, the vocation director for the Catholic Diocese of Peoria, Illinois, sent him an extensive application packet. He had to write a 20-page autobiography and submit responses to a series of essay questions, in addition to a background check and fingerprinting. In December, the day after he returned to the U.S. following the end of the soccer season in Chile, he went through an entire battery of testing. He took five written exams in one day, and was evaluated by three psychologists.
Hilgenbrinck retired from soccer on July 14, 2008 to enter the Catholic Mount St. Mary’s Seminary at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland in order to become a priest. He was ordained a priest in the diocese of Peoria on May 24, 2014. He served as a parochial vicar for St. Anne’s Catholic Church in East Moline, Illinois, as well as one of the chaplains at Alleman High School in Rock Island, Illinois.
Hilgenbrinck’s last game was on a Sunday, July 13, 2008, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts when the New England Revolution faced Mexican club Santos Laguna in a SuperLiga game.
He joined the Colorado Rapids in early 2008, but was waived during the pre-season without making a senior appearance after the Rapids needed to clear salary cap space for other acquisitions. Two weeks later the New England Revolution called, and after a two-day tryout, the Revolution signed him on March 28.
Since June 8, 2016, Chase has been assigned to St. John’s Catholic Newman Center in Champaign, Illinois.
In May 2018, Father Chase visited Blessed Sacrament Parish, Liverpool, England where he held services at local schools during the Christian feast of Pentecost.
