Where Am I Going?

Spiritan Vocations Retreat Weekend May 25-27, 2007

This was the third year in a row for our annual Spiritan Vocations Discernment Weekend. It is a time for a small group of men and women to get away from the city for a quiet weekend of prayer and discussion. We encourage those people who are trying to discern their calling in life. It is not just a vocation weekend for those thinking of the priesthood or the even the Spiritans, but a chance for people to talk with others about God's work in their lives. The Spiritans provide input from various sources; priests, seminarians, Lay Spiritans and V.I.C.S. volunteers. As in previous years, the venue of Maryholme, the Sisters of Loretto retreat center on the shores of beautiful Lake Simcoe, provided an ideal setting for such a discernment weekend. On Sunday May 27th, the retreatants drove back to Toronto to finish the retreat with a celebration of Pentecost Sunday Mass at our Spiritan parish of St. Joseph's in West Hill, Ontario.
