Saturday, October 20, 2007
The Office for Vocations is sponsoring a program for high school age men at Saint Anthony Chapel, Troy Hill, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon to learn more about the saints of the Church, priestly ministry, and discernment. Saint Anthony Chapel houses over five thousand relics of saints. The saints of the Church heard the call of the Lord and followed in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Their heroic virtues are inspirational for all those seeking to do the will of the Lord. For those in high school discerning the will of the Lord, you may find this program helpful. For more information, contact Father Thomas Burke at 412-621-4951.

Seminary Classes
Father James Wehner, rector of the seminary, teaches an introductory theology class to the seminarians on Monday evenings from 7:00-9:00 p.m. Those interested in sitting in on a class to not only learn more about the Catholic Faith but also to meet the seminarians are invited to participate. For more information, please call the seminary office at 412-456-3048.
