PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 I had a great weekend visiting the Seminary along with 6 other guys from my Archdiocese. I think a total of 7 or 8 Dioceses sent guys on the retreat. We got to spend a good bit of time in prayer including evening prayer with the Benedictine Monks who sponsor the Seminary. I took a brief 5 minute drive to Visit the Sisters at Clyde, MO and experienced adoration in their amazing chapel, along with the opportunity to venerate the relics of over 100 Saints, Including many of the Apostles. I have confirmed for myself that the majority of questions I have remaining are all practical in nature which will not impact my desire to pursue Seminary. Now it's a couple interviews to freshen up the application file and pray that the Archbishop accepts me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persevere and please place your entire vocation in the hands of Our Immaculate Mother. I highly encourage you to make an official total consecration to Her. I wanted to respond also because I noticed your username was St. Pio, who was so devoted to his "little momma". God willing, you will some day consecrate your parish to Her and enjoy the fruits of Her intercession. St. John Vianney and St. Pio, pray for him! Our Lady Mother of Vocations, pray for us!

Just think: Had I not had a wedding last weekend, I would have been there, and your weekend would have been so mind-blowing and amazing you wouldn't have been able to contain yourself!
