Retreats
Throughout the year, the Office of Vocation Promotion offers
retreats for young men to prayerfully discern the call of God in
their lives. Each retreat is aimed at different stages of
discernment.
There is a Day of Reflection for high school students
who are looking for more information about how God calls.
It is very important to spend time learning to hear God's voice.
We also look at the life of a priest or religious - what do they
do all day?
There is a Three-Day Retreat for college students are
very serious about their discernment. This retreat is
co-sponsored by the other dioceses of New York State, and is
usually held in early January. Taking time away from your
usual routine allows God to speak more clearly to you. It
is a great opportunity to meet other young men from around the
state who are discerning. You are certainly not alone in
seeking the will of God for your life.
Special Opportunities often arise for other retreats.
When Pope Benedi ct visited New York City, a group of young men
visited a nearby seminary and joined the papal youth rally.
They would have joined the pope at Yankee Stadium had their bus
shown up!
At a Dinner with a Deacon, in the days leading up to
his priesthood ordination, the transitional deacon is the guest
of honor for a group of young men looking to find out what it
was like to be so near to the goal and gift of priesthood.
If you would like to be part of these opportunities, please
