Discernment Retreat for Young Men Aug 13,14,15

The Vocations Office of the Diocese of Gallup and the Serra Club of Gallup are sponsoring a Discernment Retreat for Young Men. Last year's retreat went very well and bore fruit among its participants. One of the retreatants is now an applicant to the diocesan program of priestly formation.
The Retreat will be held at the Cure of Ars house of Discernment on August 13, 14, and 15. The weekend will include Mass, adoration, talks, a hike with the Bishop, and visits to retired priests. Please contact the vocations office at 1888PRIESTHOOD for more information.

Vocations Retreat


Last Summer the Vocations Retreat was a great success. 16 young men from around the diocese came to Gallup for a 3 day stay at the Sacred Heart Retreat Center. This Summer the retreat will take place Aug. 13-15. This photo was taken on the hike up Pyramid Peak where Bishop Wall gave a talk we called his "Sermon on the Mount".
