Last Minute Information on the upcoming "Quo Vadis" Retreat for High School aged men

Dear Father:

 
The deadline for "Quo Vadis" was last Sunday.  If any of the high school age men coming on the retreat have NOT received their transportation information, they should call Ricardo Ruesga at 509 398 5652 as soon as possible.   You may also wish to call on their behalf. Ricardo has been calling prospective men to let them know pick up times and pick up points.  Right now we are slated to have about 50 high school aged youth exploring the possibility of priesthood this coming Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  I do want to thank our newly ordained Father Mauricio Muñoz for working so diligently on this project.  I´m also grateful for the seminarians who are carving out time from their agricultural work to staff and lead the retreat as well as Father Felipe, our vicar for vocations who has been supervising the overall direction of this summer program.  Please pray for all involved.  Pray also that the Lord may send workers into his vineyard!
