St.Anthony's Chapel
September 9, 2005
Father Tom Burke is one of two Co-Vocation Directors of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Fr. Tom is Parochial Vicar of St. Paul Cathedral in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. Among Fr. Tom’s responsibilities as co-vocation director is assisting those men who are in high school discerning a possible vocation to the diocesan priesthood. This is called the High School Program.
The Bishop's Latin School Alumni Association hosted a Mass, luncheon, and tour of St Anthony's Chapel in Troy Hill. Many of the high school affiliates and their families attended the Mass, tour, and luncheon at Most Holy Name rectory.
The High School Program is a gathering of young men discerning priesthood that meets four times a year; two Sunday Open Houses in the fall semester, and two in the spring semester. The High School Open House consists of Sunday Mass with the seminarians, a delicious brunch, and a discussion session. Parents and siblings of the students are also welcomed.
