Why We Serve? Christ invites each of us along a path in life of service to God and neighbor. But discovering that path – and boldly following where it leads – is not always easy. Fortunately, Jesuits have nearly 500 years of taking up Christ’s challenge to serve a world in need for the glory of God and the help of souls. The legacy of St. Ignatius of Loyola guides us in this mission. Jesuit Novitiate of St. Alberto Hurtado - St. Paul, MN Contact: Reverent William P. O'Brien, Director of Novices wobrien@jesuits.org |
Dominicans Come and See Weekend October 21 - 23, 2022 in St. Louis, MO In the Gospel of John, when Jesus meets his first disciples he asks them “what are you looking for?” They wanted to know where he was staying, so Jesus replied “Come and See.” He then invited them to stay with him for a brief time, but it was enough for them to know that they were going to give up everything and follow him. That’s why a Come and See Weekend is a must for anyone seriously discerning their vocation. Dominican Come and Sees are a sixty-four hour immersion experience into the very rhythm of religious life. Much like the first disciples, a Come and See often provides that “gut” experience which offers the visceral clarity that is the goal of discernment and the only true test of whether or not your home is here. Join us for a weekend of discernment, faith and fellowship! For more information: Please contact Fr. Samuel Hakeem, O.P., at vocations@opcentral.org |
Come and See Events For Women
Pro Ecclesia Sancta
Discernment is a very special time to draw close to the Lord and offer yourself to Him freely and without conditions. There may be fears of what He might ask of you, but this is an invitation to renew your trust in the One Who never goes back on His promises. "He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself, for who is Truth itself" (cf. 2 Timothy 2:13).
In the end, those called to religious life are called by the Lord. It is the path to holiness God has called us to. “He called to Himself those whom He desired; and they came to Him.” (cf. Mk 3:13) Come for a visit with the sisters! Plan a short visit to the convent to get a taste of our day to day life. Pray with us. Serve with us. We would love to have you join us!

Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus
A Come and See retreat is designed to give women an experience of our life from the inside. In addition to entering into our rhythm of prayer and the joys of community life, retreatants receive conferences on religious life and guidance in their discernment. Above all, it is a time to be with Jesus as He reveals His love and the desires of His Heart.
Good candidates for a Come and See retreat are single Catholic women, ages 20 - 30, who are in good health and have been living a life faithful to prayer and the sacraments for at least one year. Vocation Inquiries - Email: handmaidvocation@gmail.com or 507.766.4570 School Sisters of Notre Dame

Cathedral Young Adults Upcoming Events! Click Here 
June 25th, 2022. 7:15 pm
Hayden Hall Cathedral of Saint Paul 239 Selby Ave, St Paul, MN 55102, USA (map) Join Cathderal young adults on Saturday, June 25, at 7:15 p.m. in Hayden Hall for a special talk featuring Fr. Casey Cole, OFM, and Fr. Roberto “Tito” Serrano, OFM, from the successful YouTube channels “Breaking In the Habit” and “Upon Friar Review.” In a bid to emulate the Franciscan missionary model of “meeting people where they are,” Cole and Serrano will set out on a unique pilgrimage to all 30 Major League Baseball markets over an 11-week stretch, visiting Immaculate Conception (In Minneapolis), Target Field, and the Cathedral along the way. As avid baseball fans, the self-professed “Bleacher Brothers” developed the idea of spending a summer visiting each of the homes of America’s pastime nearly a decade ago, with the hope of inviting people back to their spiritual “home base.” Admission for the mission talk is free, and all are welcome! Visit shfla.org/bleacherbros to view their tour announcement video, and read more about the friars’ upcoming visit |
MSP Catholic started with the realization that there are so many amazing Catholic things happening in the Twin Cities...but they aren't always that easy to find.
This is where it all comes together so that it's easier to get involved, find out what's going on outside of your network, and invite others to join you. Our hope is to centralize and amplify the great things our groups, parishes, and individuals are doing. Do we have everything on our site? No, but we're making connections and adding new things all the time. YOU can be a huge asset in that. If there's something that our audience needs to know about, please drop us a note so we can get more people involved in the great work of our Catholic community. MSP Catholic is an initiative run by CEND - the Center for Evangelization and Discipleship - whose mission is to help all Young Adults find a home in a Catholic parish. This website is only half of the story of what we do. Click below to find out more. Click Here for Link to MSP Catholic Website |
