Fifteen middle school young men joined the Vocation Office for the Diocesan Priesthood on April 9 for the Brothers of Borromeo Vocation Camp (BBVC).
In a day of socially distanced fun, the young men learned about vocations and enjoyed outdoor games, talks, prayer and fellowship on the campus of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Wynnewood.
BBVC has been a tradition for the Philadelphia Archdiocese’s vocation office for about 10 years, offering young men in grades six to eight a solid introduction to vocations. While last year’s camp was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event returned this year with appropriate social distancing and safety measures.
