OPERATION ANDREW DINNERS – 2010
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:
December 2 & 7 (locations to be announced soon)
Please contact your parish priest for more
information.
