UPCOMING EVENTS

LIVE-IN WEEKEND

The Vocation Office and Cardinal Muench Seminary sponsor a Live-In Weekend for men 16 years and older who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood. The weekend allows men the opportunity to be in a seminary environment to pray, reflect and discuss the possibility of answering Jesus’ call to be a priest.

There is no cost, but pre-registration is required.

The Live-In Weekend occurs in November of each year. This year's Live-In Weekend date is November 16-18, 2007.

For more information, or to register, call Fr. Paul Duchschere, Vocation Director, at (701) 271-1205, or send him an e-mail.

OPERATION ANDREW DINNERS – 2007/2008

Bishop Aquila hosts four “Operation Andrew” dinners each year in various parts of the Diocese of Fargo and invites those men discerning a call to the priesthood to come. There will be a time before dinner (5:45 pm) for personal introductions. There is always a good meal, and following dinner the Bishop will invite some of the priests present to witness about their own vocation, and how they heard God’s call. The Bishop himself will speak to all present on the priesthood and his own vocational call. A short prayer time will conclude the evening around 8:30 pm.

These dinners bring young men together with the Bishop so that they know they are not alone in this journey and can encourage each other, and that through conversation and sharing of vocation stories and prayer they may deepen their own discernment concerning this possible call from Christ for them. The attendees are to come with a “host priest,” so please contact your pastor (if he hasn’t already contacted you!) and request to be able to come with him.

This year's upcoming dinner dates are:

Bishop Aquila’s Residence, Fargo, Monday, December 3, 2007, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Ctr., Grand Forks, Tuesday, December 4, 2007, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Basilica of St. James, Jamestown, Thursday, December 13, 2007, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Please contact your parish priest for more information.
