Vocation Live-Ins

A Vocation Live-In is an opportunity for young men to spend a weekend at the seminary. It gives them a chance to meet other boys and/or men searching for God’s will. During the weekend there are times for community prayer, daily mass, lectio divina (spiritual reading), rosary, sports, discussion groups, and a tour of the seminary and campus.

Most of the boys and men attending the Vocation Live-ins (which begin Saturday morning and end Sunday afternoon) are from B.C.’s lower mainland, but there are usually several from the U.S. and often a few from out-of-province.

We hope that in attending the Vocation Live-In, you will leave the seminary closer to Christ, more knowledgeable of seminary life, and will inspire other boys and men to respond to the possibility of a call to the priesthood or religious life.
