Several seminarians from Saint Charles Seminary in Philadelphia spent the day at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton church on Retreat. It was a blessing and a privilege for our parish to host these fine young men for a day of prayer anbd reflection. I introduced them at the parish Mass at 5:30 PM, noting that "these are ordinary guys," and encouraging other "ordinary guys" in the parish to consider applying to the seminary to discern whether God may be calling them to serve Him as a priest. Pray for these young man, and all the other seminary students. They are ordinary guys whom God is calling to do extraordinary things with their lives.
