Formation Update - Winter 2006


Formation Information

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.
