On October 16, the yHope community gathered for prayer and we prayed in a special way for Marie Lucci as she prepared to leave the US for Religious Life in Spain. Many were gathered for prayer but only a few were there for the pictures at the end. We are keeping Marie in prayer as she follows the call of the Lord.

St. Andrew Dinner

Brother Rene, Vice Principal of Central Catholic High School

The Vocation Office last week had its Fall St. Andrew Dinner at Central Catholic High School in Lawrence. The event was well attended with over 65 High School Boys along with some of their Priests, Teachers and Youth Ministers. The St. Andrew Dinner continues to be a great opportunity for high school boys to get a glimpse of God's call to the Priesthood. Every High School Catholic boy should have the privilege. Cardinal Sean highlighted the event and three seminarians Carlos Suarez, Jeffrey Roche and Felipe Gonzalez offered witness presentations. The next St. Andrew Dinner will take place on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at St. Sebastian High School in Needham.
Take a look at a few of our pictures from the event...
