THE NEXT VOCATION WEEKEND IS SET FOR SEPTEMBER 25-27, 2009
The schedule will be much the same as the February 13-15, 2009 weekend:
A vocation weekend is a no-strings-attached chance to spend time learning about the life of Dominican friars, to pray with us, to talk with our student brothers, to meet our older brethren, and most of all to listen for the voice of Jesus who continually calls men to preach for the salvation of souls.
