FISH was started several years ago at St. Peter Parish with the intention of giving seminarians at St. Joseph Seminary College an opportunity to get away from the seminary periodically and enjoy a little bit of "home away from home." As you may know, not all of these young men are able to go home frequently because most are from hours away or out of state, and also due to the demands of seminary formation. The seminarians enjoy the time spent visiting, playing sports/games, sharing a meal (home-cooked or not), and just being involved in "family life." By participating in this program, each family is blessed to form a relationship with young men who are actively discerning the priesthood. It also gives families an opportunity to see that these young men, some of whom will be ordained one day, are just ordinary young men. By ordinary, we mean just like your sons, grandsons, nephews, etc. Ordinary young men, taking the extraordinary step of actively discerning their vocation at the seminary. Both seminarians and families will be blessed by this experience and the relationships that are formed. Families are asked to make plans with their seminarians once monthly.
The Vocations Committee at St. Peter Parish invites you to prayerfully consider becoming a FISH Family!
