Retreat offers a chance to explore priesthood Monday, December 21, 2020 11:48 AM Comments (0) • • • Those who want to hear how God is calling them should take time to listen. That’s the advice of three men who hope to enter seminary next year for the Archdiocese of Portland.
Like Archbishop John Vlazny before him, Archbishop Alexander Sample blocks off a weekend at the start of each year to lead a retreat for men who think God might be inviting them to priesthood.
Father Jeff Eirvin, vocations director for the archdiocese, said seminarians often say the retreat is where they made their decision to enter seminary. “This is a powerful weekend of prayer, fraternity and conversation with Archbishop Sample on various topics on the priestly vocation,” Father Eirvin said.
