This group is for anyone who may be considering a vocation, or at least wanting to spend some time discerning God’s will for their life.
We start with prayer and a talk before Mass - followed by a shared meal. After lunch there is another relevant input & discussion regard vocation – this could be from the Vocation Promotion team, or a member of a Religious Community or a Seminarian. We close by spending a time of prayer in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
The Seeker Group meets at various times during the year on the a Saturday from 11am-3pm. All are welcome to join us at Sacred Heart Church Fareham, PO16 ONQ. Booking required.
