Convents and seminaries will open their doors to the public later this month to give them a better understanding of Catholic vocations and to mark the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. The Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea said the country’s convents and seven major seminaries will be open on May 15. Father Andrew Kwon Goo-taek, vice-director of Seoul archdiocese’s vocation office, said yesterday that special programs will help the formation of future priests and Religious. Seoul Seminary for example is to stage several activities such as rosary making, allowing people to try on soutanes (cassocks) and vocation counseling. Auxiliary Bishop Basil Cho Kyu-man of Seoul will also celebrate Mass. KO14120

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
