Philly Adoration for Vocations
Each Thursday, people come to St. Charles Borromeo Seminary (100 E. Wynnewood Road, Wynnewood) to pray for our seminarians and to pray for an increase in vocations. That amounts to countless hours of asking the Lord of the Harvest to send more laborers into the vineyard.
Our sincere thanks to all those who have visited! Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is a privileged way of praying for vocations! Thank you for your prayers! We have absolute confidence that those prayers are making a difference! May God bless you!
Adorers are invited to spend an hour or more before the Blessed Sacrament on Thursdays between 9 AM and 4 PM in Sacred Heart Chapel (located in the College Building of the Seminary).
To sign up for one or more hours/days, click on the image below. If you have any questions, please contact the organizers at Phillyadoration@gmail.com or the Vocation Office at 610-667-5778. Specific details regarding parking, location, etc., will be emailed to you the Wednesday before your assigned date/time.

QUO VADIS DAYS 2024!!
Monday, June 24 – Thursday, June 27, 2024
Quo Vadis Days, run by the Philadelphia seminarians and sponsored by the Vocation Office for the Diocesan Priesthood, is a 4-day, 3-night summer camp for high school-aged men (incoming freshmen to graduated seniors) that seeks to ask the question: Where are you going?
Through engaging talks, fun activities, and 4 days of fellowship, this camp is designed to encourage the participants to ask themselves “Where am I going?” and listen to God’s call to the particular vocation He has planned for them. Whether their vocation is to the priesthood, religious life, or marriage, young men are challenged first to become a disciple and then to discern their unique call.
Using this year’s theme – Behold the Lamb – and focusing on the witness of St. John the Baptist – Quo Vadis participants will experience different forms of prayer, fun-filled activities, and have many opportunities for fraternity and fellowship!
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Wednesday, May 24, 2024
