The 7th grade students again attended the Junior High Vocation Awareness Day on October 10th at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit. Fr. Scott and Fr. Brian joined us at the seminary to support and encourage vocations, especially to the priesthood and consecrated life.
Isabella Asai was chosen to be an altar server for the Mass with Bishop Robert Fisher as the celebrant. Fr. Joe Horn, Director of Vocations, spoke to the boys about being open to the call to the priesthood. A religious sister addressed the girls on her vocation and the joy that she has received in her ministry. Discussion of the merits of priesthood and consecrated life hopefully will create a lasting impression with our students. Our students were encouraged to pray each day a Seminary Vocation postcard prayer which they each received.
Hopefully our students will begin to discern a vocation to the religious life, priestly life, married life or single life. If we pray, the Holy Spirit will guide our 7th grade Lakers to a vocation that will bring them true happiness. Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School has the unparalleled privilege to assist our students in discerning his/her vocation.
Transportation was provided by the Knights of Columbus and we are grateful for their generosity.
