👋 From FIAT! At this annual summer camp this w 👋 From FIAT!

At this annual summer camp this week, girls from across our diocese are exploring the trust and humility of the Blessed Mother, and how emulating those same virtues in their own lives will lead them to their calling—and ultimately closer to Christ!

Seek the heart of Christ. ❤️‍🔥 As Fr. Da Seek the heart of Christ. ❤️‍🔥

As Fr. Daniel Rice articulated in a homily given at @mountstmarysseminary during Quo Vadis Summer Camp this week, we are reminded of this sacred truth: 

The culmination of this pursuit of the Heart of Christ is made Present at each and every Mass in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

May we never take this gift—the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Savior—for granted!
“Quo vadis, Domine?” (Lord, where are you go “Quo vadis, Domine?” 

(Lord, where are you going?) 

Our annual summer camp, named after a story taken from Church tradition, reminds us all of an important truth: we need only ask Jesus like St. Peter for the way to find our vocation and purpose for life.
