| Focus on
vocations at cathedral Mass
By Voice staff
The Oakland Diocese will observe National Vocations
Awareness Week (Jan. 11-17) on Jan. 11 with a special Mass at the Cathedral
of Christ the Light. The 10 a.m. Mass will include a testimony by Cedric
and Cynthia Macadaeg, parents of Brandon Macadaeg, one of 20 men studying
to be priests for the Oakland Diocese. He is a student at the Theological
College in Washington, D. C.
There are 12 seminarians at St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park,
five at Mt. Angel Seminary in Oregon, one at the Pontifical North American
University in Rome, and one at Seminario Hispano in Mexico City.
Father Larry D’Anjou, diocesan director of vocations, will celebrate
the liturgy to which the parents and relatives of the seminarians have
been invited. “We want to show our appreciation for them,”
he said, noting that it is in families that vocations are most often nurtured.
