From Friday 6th to Sunday 8th March 2026, SDC candidates in their final three years of formation gathered at Dar Betsajda for a seminar entitled The SDC Vocation: A Way of Life.
During the seminar, participants reflected on the various dimensions of the SDC vocation: lay, celibate, active-apostolic, prophetic and contemplative. These themes were explored through a range of activities, films, group discussions and case studies that encouraged both personal reflection and shared dialogue.
The candidates also had opportunities to strengthen their sense of fraternity through moments of prayer and time for recreation.
Let us keep these young men in our thoughts and prayers as they continue their process of discernment, and that they may have the courage to embrace the SDC vocation if it is truly their calling.
