The AMS Vocations Office hosted a “Welcome Aboard” gathering for incoming co-sponsored seminarians planning to serve as active-duty U.S. Military chaplains after ordination. Four men took part in the June 22-25 retreat, sharing time in fellowship, Morning and Evening Prayer, the celebration of Mass, conversation with Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, and briefings from AMS staff.
Each man is on a five-year vocational journey that will include five years of study and formation in preparation for priestly ordination followed by three years of pastoral service in his home dioceses before entering active duty as a chaplain.
