Would you like to "Come and See" how God calls you and how you can respond? Would you like to have lots of fun and recreation mixed in with prayer and adoration? Venite et Videte is Latin for "come and see" and is the name for short retreats the Vocation Office is offering to young men. The next session is for college age men who want to spend 24 hours experiencing Catholic traditions such as the Liturgy of the Hours, the rosary, and an Ordination Mass. Combined with helpful, down to earth talks from Fr. Mitchel Zimmerman, you can draw closer to Christ, and get answers to questions like "I'm confused because I'm attracted to girls and the Priesthood" or "What are the signs I need to look for?"

These retreats are planned to be enlightening and fun. There will be a trip to a Royals game, and a movie. You will have good food and stay in a room at Savior Pastoral Center. Guys who attended last year had a really great experience.

The retreat is: Saturday, May 22, 10:30am to Sunday, May 23rd at 10:30 am.

Located at Savior Pastoral Center, 12601 Parallel Pkwy, Kansas City, KS  66109. Savior is three miles west of Cabelas.   Please note: The retreat begins by attending the Diaconate ordination at Holy Spirit Parish, 11300 W. 103rd St., Overland Park. Or you may wait and check in at Savior at 2:30pm.

Cost is only $25.00, and includes your room, meals, and recreation.
