Heart of Mary Seminary, Winona

Is this just for guys thinking about
priesthood?
This
retreat is for young men who are willing to
ask the question of “What does the Lord want
me to do with my life?” We will talk about
being open to priesthood and what priesthood
is, but we just want to help you in whatever
way we can to find and follow God’s call for
you.
Who is putting on this retreat?
The
retreat is given by Father Joseph Hirsch,
Assistant Vocation Directors,
and seminarians.
A
message from Father Joseph Hirsch:
I write
today to invite you to a very special
gathering of young men your age and
older—those entering junior year and beyond
which is coming up July 2009 at
Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary in Winona,
Minnesota. It is called the
Threshold Retreat.
As you
go through high school and college you are
passing through a very important “threshold”
in your life as you go from young man to
adult. Every time I go to speak to groups of
young people they ask questions like, “How
do you know what you are supposed to do with
your life?” Or “How does God guide us in
our lives?” In the Threshold Retreat we will
be dealing with these very important, yet
fundamental questions which we all ask.
Several
priests will join me and a group of our
seminarians to plan these three days of
reflection and prayer. Our seminarians come
from a variety of backgrounds, some in
business, education, and some who are in
college at this time. Just a couple of years
ago they were where you are now. This
retreat is a great opportunity to sit down
with these men and listen to how they are
discovering their call in life and their
vocation. It is a time to ask them questions
about how to face the next stage in life and
how to be open to all possibilities of God’s
call for you whether to the single life,
religious, married, or to the priesthood and
to the choice of your career.
I hope
you have an enjoyable summer with family and
friends. If you have any questions you can
email or call. I look forward to the
possibility of seeing you at Threshold 2009.
