my brothers @ St Vincent De Paul Regional Seminary
Today is arrival day for new Theologian seminarians at St Vincent De Paul Regional Seminary in Boyton Beach, FL. Since I discerned leaving seminary formation just recently, I didn’t need to go, but I wanted to tell my classmates and seminary brothers personally about my discernment. Luck for me, one of my brothers needed a ride, so I offered to drive him and his stuff (including “piano”) up there.
It was great to see each other after the summer break, but sad having to say I wouldn’t be in formation with them this year. Everyone was very supportive and understanding, but I didn’t want my leaving to effect their own vocational journey. I know from experience that guys that left did remind me of my own discernment in subtle ways that, left ignored, may add to doubt, but when faced, could help grow in confidence in my vocational journey.
I still hope to keep in touch with most of them, through phone, Facebook and food (Sonic is right across the street).
God bless you guys and stay holy!

I don’t know If I said it already but …Hey good stuff…keep up the good work! 🙂 I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,)
A definite great read..Tony Brown
we must admit the fact that God calls us differently. EACH one of us has a specific calling. But how to discover it is the problem. AND in such circumustance where on makes a mature decision, still we return the glory to the ultimate being.
