St Charles Seminary Enquiry Day Blessed with Full Attendance
On Sunday 5 May 2024, the grounds of St Charles Seminary were filled with 25+ people who were interested in finding out more about the vocational journey into ordained ministry. Responses came from all over Perth, and even as far as Geraldton and Margaret River.
The day saw Fr Francis (Rector), Fr Joe (Vice-Rector) and the St Charles seminarians hosting their guests starting with Holy Hour and Mass before a delicious brunch was served and heartily enjoyed at the seminary’s communal dining area, accompanied by conversations and laughter.
