Visiting Seminary


Here is a pic of a recent visit to Kenrick-Glennon seminary in suburban St. Louis. After praying evening prayer, we went to a local 'fish fry' to support St. Cecilia's parish near the seminary. I regularly take guys who have a strong interest in the priesthood to visit seminaries. We have a few guys headed to Mundelein in a couple of weeks for their Exploring Priesthood Weekend, and then a few others guys are headed to Conception Seminary College March 28-30 for theri Encounter with God's Call. A visit to a seminary can do a lot for a guy's discernment, for after visiting a seminary, a guy knows better what he is discerning. It is important not to discern God's call in the abstract, or try to gain certainty without the benefit of certain experiences like visiting a seminary. Let me know if anyone would like to make a visit in the near future, or if you know somebody who should! Email me!
