For the past two-and-a-half days, Archbishop Burke has been holding the annual Archbishop's Retreat for aspiring seminarians at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary. Young men from all over the United States are here discerning their vocations and spending three days in prayer and reflection with current seminarians. Thing are looking good right now; there are 25 men here (more than last year's total!) and many have asked for or are currently filling out applications.
I have posted pictures of the Retreat on my Seminary Website (click here to see them):
Another note: For those of you who will be in St. Louis this week (and next weekend):
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary to Present Variety ShowThe seminarians and faculty of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, 5200 Glennon Drive in Shrewsbury, will present the "Couch Potatoes" variety show at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 24 and 26 and 2 p.m. Feb. 27.
This year's show follows last year's run of "Spam and Cheese" and asks the question: "If seminarians ran TV Land, what would be on the air?"
Tickets are $5 and are available at the door or by calling (314) 792-6241. Special group rates and family rates are available.
Proceeds from the event benefit student activities and pro-life work, including an annual pilgrimage to the pro-life march in Washington, DC.
