This year in our Seminary the scholastics spend their weekends in Oblate Parishes in Victoria. I hope that this opportunity to be among the people of God can put them on fire. I has always worked with me. I have always been strengthen in my faith and love for Jesus by sharing life with parishioners. As our scholastics are approaching their final years of formation to become catholic priests I pray that the time they spend in parishes can contribute to their passion for souls, which was evident in the life of our Founder – St Eugene de Mazenod.
However the last weekend of the month will be our community weekend. It means that the whole St Mary’s seminary community will stay home to share our beautiful ordinary life of prayer and brotherhood. After some reflection and prayer we have decided to welcome for those weekends single catholic men who are searching for their vocation. We don’t want to make it any different to our daily routine of prayer and community because we believe that the life style that we have inherited from St Eugene is powerful. You will have a chance to live an oblate life for a couple of days in order to hear the voice of the Lord. This way of prayer and community always helps us, Oblates, to hear the Lord’s voice and I am sure it can assist you too.
It will start Friday night and will finish Monday morning. The first such weekend will be from Friday March 28 – Monday March 31. The next Community weekend will be from Friday April 25 – Monday April 28. The April Community Weekend
