Tello Vu
and
David Kaczmarek
were both approved for solemn
vows. It was the happy task of the newly installed Provincial
Council to approve them for vows. The ceremony will take place on
the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 2006. It will be held at
Saint Bridget Church, Minneapolis, MN.
♦
Patrick Foley
is completing his course of
studies at Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, TX, while
polishing up his Spanish language skills. He will be ordained to
the presbyterate on June 10, 2006 at Saint Bridget�s.
�Being here in
San Antonio is not so much a question of practicality. It is about
conversion and allowing my horizons to be broadened. It seems God
is offering me an invitation to see things in a larger perspective.�
From an interview
♦
Research done for the Vocations
Committee indicates that an invitation from a priest is one of the
most effective ways of having a man consider the priesthood. Of
seminarians ordained in 2003, 78 percent said that a priest had
invited them to consider the priesthood. A 2001 USCCB survey,
however, indicated that only 30 percent of priests actively invite
men to consider the priesthood.
