High school men and women interested in attending Concordia Seminary, St. Louis are invited to Vocatio June 19-24 on campus. This free, weeklong retreat provides prospective students the opportunity to explore God’s calling and direction for them as they experience Seminary life.

Attendance at this in-person retreat will be limited to ensure appropriate group size, and all health and safety guidelines will be followed to ensure the well-being of all participants.

During this retreat, participants will engage in theological conversation, hear from Seminary professors and attend a virtual Concordia University System college fair. Group sessions will focus on thoughtful conversation about the Lutheran faith, aspects of vocation and the call to pastoral or diaconal ministry. Participants also will walk through the admissions process, learn about the St. Louis area and have some fun and recreation.

“After a difficult year, I’m looking forward to meeting everyone in-person this June. We will pray, study Scripture, build fellowship, experience life as a student at Concordia Seminary, and learn what it means to serve God’s people through pastoral and diaconal ministry,” said Rev. Micah Glenn, director of Recruitment.

The deadline to register is June 5. Interested participants can learn more and sign up at csl.edu/vocatio. For information about a virtual option for this event, contact Rev. Micah Glenn, glennm@csl.edu.
