Come and See Retreat

Dear friends,

Hopefully these coming months, more time will be afforded to write on the blog about some of the upcoming events we have in the Vocation Office.

On October 22-24th, the Vocation Office will be sponsoring a "Come and See" Retreat at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. This is a special opportunity for young men over the age of 16 to come visit the seminary for the weekend.

Why do we have a retreat like this? For many young men, a formal visit to the seminary can go a long way to help them discern whether or not they are called to take the next step towards the priesthood and enter the seminary. It can be that spark that one needs. It can also help one discern that perhaps they are not called.

In any retreat one makes, the individual should be open to hear the voice of God, and be open to doing whatever God is asking of you. The purpose of a retreat is to take time away so one can hear the voice of God, and to grow in holiness.

If you are reading this, and you are a young man who has possibly considered the priesthood, this retreat might be for you. This retreat is intended for those who have been considering the priesthood for a while, and it is also for those who have just started to think about the priesthood.

For more information, please visit our website, HeedTheCall. Here, you can sign up online, or you can call the Vocation Office to sign up.

God bless.
