B'more Vocations

06/02/2026

Last week, our Director of Vocations, Fr. Steven Roth, visited our seminarians - Jordan Damewood, Nicholas Hays, John Anderson, and Fr. Thomas O'Donnell - at the Pontifical American College. During his visit, Fr. Roth met with Msgr. Thomas Powers, the Rector, and the formation team to check on our seminarians' formation.
Please pray for Jordan and Nicholas as they continue their studies in Rome, and for John Anderson as he returns to the United States to do his pastoral year at St. Andrew by the Bay Parish. Also, pray for Fr. Thomas as he prepares to return to the Archdiocese to serve as associate pastor at St. John the Evangelist in Severna Park.

Quo Vadis Beyond – June 18 and 19, 2026
Quo Vadis Beyond is inspired by Quo Vadis. It is a new experience for recent high school graduates (young people who graduated in June) that helps them explore their faith and prepares them for the next chapter of their Catholic discipleship.
Who is Quo Vadis for?
Recent high school graduates who wish to explore their faith and prepare for the next chapter of their Catholic discipleship.

Quo Vadis – July 6–9, 2026
Quo Vadis is a four-day gathering organized by the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Baltimore to help young men grow as disciples of Jesus by learning to pray, growing in brotherhood, and seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus. Ultimately, we hope this lays the groundwork to help each young man discover his vocation—who he is called to be.
Who is Quo Vadis for?
High school-aged young men (from those finishing 8th grade to those entering their senior year of high school) who desire to make Christ and the Church a part of their lives.
Where does Quo Vadis take place?
St. Mary’s Seminary and University (5400 Roland Ave., Baltimore, MD 21201)
