The "Informational Retreat Weekend" is a program that provides young men (high school sophomores through college - ages 16-22) a chance to see what life at a College Seminary is all about.  During the visit you'll attend classes at Saint Mary's University and also attend Mass, daily prayer and hang out with our current seminarians.  This is an ideal way for young men who are considering a vocation to the priesthood to reflect further on their vocations, to experience the life of the seminary first-hand and to get to know some of the guys who attend the seminary and the expectations of seminary life that they meet.

Informational Retreat Weekends are held at the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) College Seminary, located on the campus of St. Mary's University in Winona, MN. Most of the weekend is very informal and casual. You may wear casual clothes, however you should bring one set of dress clothes for Sunday Mass and some clothes for recreation (basketball, racquetball, hiking, etc.) 

If you have any questions, contact Fr. Brad, Vocation Director for the Diocese of Sioux City at (712) 233-7523 or Sharon at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary at (507) 457-7373.

Informational Retreat Weekends are free, but space is limited.  Register today!
