Fr. Canela, pastor of St. Mary's Cathedral in Grand Island, took a group of 17 boys to the Conception Seminary Encounter Weekend, November 12-14.
Encounter With God's Call is a seminary discernment experience for high school juniors through recent college graudates (ages 16-25).
During Encounter, participants learn about college seminary life and further discern the call to priesthood. Throughout the weekend, they pray, meet, and relax with seminarians, as they participate in sports activities, a Q & A panel discussion, residence hall tours, adoration and reconciliation, a Sunday evening Holy Hour and time for personal prayer. They also get the chance to interact and get to know the seminarians from our diocese.
