The name Quo Vadis (Where are you going?) poses
the question that every person faces as their life unfolds and they make
decisions about their vocation, be it as a single or married person, or someone
called to serve as a priest or religious.
Quo Vadis
brought together 40 young men plus seminarians, young adult volunteers,
assistant vocation directors, and priests from around the Diocese of Scranton.
The camp offered participants an opportunity to reflect on and deepen their
faith, learn more about all vocations, and better discern God’s call in their
lives through dynamic talks, games, prayer, sports, activities, music, liturgy
and much more.

Bishop Joseph C.
Bambera visited on the first day and presided at evening prayer. He shared the story of
his own call to priesthood and offered insights into the life and ministry of a
diocesan priest. Participants were then able to spend time with the Bishop at
dinner.

“This was our second
year for Quo Vadis Days and our
numbers almost doubled from last year,” said Father Don Williams, Diocesan Director
of Vocations and Seminarians. “It was a great opportunity for young people from
across the Diocese of Scranton to gather, pray, and grow as disciples of Jesus.
We look forward to our follow-up gatherings throughout the year and the
vocation camp next June.”

"Quo Vadis was a retreat like no other I have attended. You have time for prayer and discernment, and you have time for fun and games. It is also a great opportunity to get to know our diocesan priests and the seminarians. Being surrounded by other Catholic youth from the diocese was also a great experience."

"Quo Vadis was an incredible faith-filled experience. As a small group leader, it was wonderful to watch the participant's excitement for their faith grow as the retreat went on. Quo Vadis is such a great retreat for young men to bond with prayer, sports, and discernment. I was truly blessed to be able to share my experiences of growing in faith throughout high school and my first years of college with the guys. We were also blessed to have many wonderful seminarians and priests, who are all extraordinary examples of what it truly means to be a man of God."
-John, young adult volunteer and speaker
