The monthly prayer meeting for vocations resumed at the Seminary on Friday, October 16th.

After the welcome at 5:00 PM, Holy Mass will be celebrated at 5:30 PM by Msgr. Daniele Baldi, Vicar General of the Diocese of Pavia. During the celebration, the altar servers serving at the altar in the diocese's parishes were granted their diocesan mandate: a way to recognise their service and encourage them to experience it as a journey of growth in faith and community life. The evening concluded with an aperitif with the "Friends of the Seminary.".

The next meetings

We meet in the Seminary one Friday a month, at 5 pm: Friday, November 13th, December 11, January 15, February 12, March 12, April 9, and May 7.

The invitation is for parish communities and especially for altar servers, for Friends of the Seminary, for those who join the Invisible Monastery, and for all those who care about our Seminary.
