"Come and See" Vocation Discernment Weekends at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers are designed to allow you the opportunity to pray about a possible vocation to the diocesan priesthood for the Archdiocese of New York. It will afford a man a chance to speak with others discerning a call, an opportunity to hear from and to speak with seminarians both in theology and philosophy who have just entered or are preparing for Priesthood Ordination, as well as a chance to hear from a young priest about his experiences in the ministry. For those who have completed a Discernment Weekend, there will be an abbreviated schedule to allow more time for reflection. We usually end the Spring Weekend with Palm Sunday Mass with the Archbishop at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick. To register, please contact the Voctaions Office at vocations@archny.org or call (914) 968-1340.

After another weekend of 20 high school young men on our February Prep Weekend, we are looking forward to March! It will be held on March 19, 20 & 21. This will be a special weekend - it will begin with our annual 5:00 PM Mass and Dinner (with your parish priests only) for Vocations with Archbishop Dolan on the Solemnity of St. Joseph's. Saturday, we will head to the Archdiocesan Youth Congress at Stepinac High School. And Sunday we head down to St. Patrick's Cathedral for Archbishop Dolan's Mass - families are most welcome to join us! We conclude back at the seminary after lunch (families welcome) at 2:00 PM (please RSVP). The Prep Weekend is a chance for a young man to draw closer to the Lord Jesus and to experience good fraternity with others considering the call. There will be conferences, Confession, Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, sports and opportunities to meet seminarians. All high school age young men interested in a vocation to the priesthood are encouraged to attend the weekend at St. Joseph's Seminary. Please register by calling (914) 968-1340 or by contacting vocations@archny.org.
