Easter Seminar for Priests & Seminarians
The annual Easter Seminar was established in 1984 to provide diocesan priests and seminarians an opportunity for prayer, fraternity, and formation following the Lenten season and Easter Triduum. The days are spent in reflection and discussion with distinguished invited speakers on topics facing the priesthood, the Church, and the world today.
