Why this soccer tournament is helping my priestly formation
Approximately 145 seminarians from across Australia gathered in Melbourne on September 11 for an annual soccer tournament. Participants included students from Holy Spirit Seminary in Harris Park, as well as seminaries from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Wagga Wagga.
An Outlook Contributor stated that the event allowed seminarians to build fraternity and friendship outside of their usual studies, prayer, and pastoral activities. The contributor noted that meeting in a relaxed setting helps these men realize that religious vocations come from diverse backgrounds and different communities rather than belonging to a single location.
