However, a friend and I decided we would join this year’s walk for vocations and set off with the group on Sunday afternoon.

What people perhaps don't know is that by September we could have more seminarians in training at the same time than we've had for fifteen years.

It’ll be good to meet up with people from across the Diocese, all of whom care about priesthood and want to encourage vocations.

It’s not an easy decision but it is a very good one. Any time a person makes this kind of decision for God in their life, we are challenged.
