On the weekend of March 20-22, 2015 several young men gathered at St. Charles Center to pray, discuss God’s call, and share community with the Missionaries of the Precious Blood.  The retreat was sponsored by the Cincinnati Province and Kansas City Province.  Rev. Vince Wirtner, C.PP.S. and Rev. Timothy Armbruster, C.PP.S. organized the retreat and they were assisted by several current candidates in formation.  There was time to ask questions, share in prayer, and learn about the spirituality, charism, and history of the Congregation.  The young men also had a opportunity it get to know many of the Missionaries who live at St. Charles.  The Vocation Ministry of the Cincinnati and Kansas City Provinces sponsor two vocation retreats each year.
