Seminary/Convent Field Trip

Students can experience daily vocations life hands-on with a visit to a nearby seminary or convent. Part of the visit will be to see the buildings and structures that make up the grounds and learn about the daily routine of prayer and other duties for the seminarians or religious order.

Equally important is for students to hear stories from men and women who have said, “Yes,” already to God’s call, including what they love most about the life they have chosen.

Visits can include playing games or enjoying a picnic on the grounds. If there is not a seminary or convent nearby, it may be even more important to make a planned trip for students unlikely to ever observe these communities. Your Diocesan Vocation Director may be helpful in arranging a virtual visit if necessary.
