The parish of St Francis de Sales (FSSP Parish) in Mableton is organizing a unique vocations week-please read below:
Nun Run, Monk Hunt & Seminarian Search
If anyone is interested in discerning a religious vocation, Deacon Pelster is organizing a couple of cars to travel to the Midwest in order to look at a few religious orders. The men will have an opportunity to see: 1st Kenrick Diocesan Seminary, MO, 2nd Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, seminary of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, NE, 3rd Benedictine monastery of Clear Creek, Our Lady of the Annunciation Monastery, OK , 4th Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word, Annunciation Friary, (EWTN monks), AL. The ladies will have an opportunity to see: 1st The Nashville Dominicans, TN, 2nd The discalced Carmelite sisters of The Carmel of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, NE, 3rd The Benedictine Sisters of Our Lady of the Annunciation, MO, 4th The Benedictine Sisters of Queen of Angels Convent (affiliated with Clear Creek Monastery). There are still many contingencies to be determined; right now the plan is to be gone from Tuesday 5th of April to Tuesday the 12th of April. This trip is only for those who are eligible for the religious life, i.e. those who are 16-30 years of age and single. Going on this escapade does not mean that you must be actually planning on entering the religious life; rather if you are in any way interested in the life of monks, nuns, and priests you are welcome to come and learn more. We will be staying at the monasteries/convents throughout the trip. The price will probably be in the $300-$400 range for 7 days but I will have a more precise figure after I know how many people are coming. The cost includes transportation, food, and lodging. If you are interested, please let Deacon Pelster know as soon as possible, so that he can get a sense of how many people are interested.
