Saint Leo the Great School celebrated its biannual Vocations Day on Feb. 15. A total of 13 priests, sisters, and deacons from local area churches and beyond came to visit students, sharing their vocations stories and providing a glimpse into the life of a nun or a priest. Each guest rotated through different classrooms explaining what formation means. Students asked many questions.
Sister Mary Faithful Virgin from Bloomberg explained to second-graders the steps and stages of the vocation process, impressing on them the importance of learning and praying. Father John Kuchinski, an alumnus of Saint Leo School, made the trip from Gettysburg to support Vocations Day.
In addition to talking with the children, guests joined the faculty for a luncheon followed by praise and worship led by youth ministers Beth and John Christensen.
Vocations Day is an event planned by the members of the school's Spiritual Life Committee. The event is funded by donations from school families and supported by the work of parish and school volunteers.
