This year's Quo Vadis Days Camp at Saint Methodios Faith & Heritage Center gave the young men in attendance the opportunity to consider their personal response to Quo Vadis - Latin for "Where are you going?"

They enjoyed learning experiences with Bishop Libasci, priests, religious, seminarians and laypeople from our Diocese - along with prayer time, Mass, swimming, hiking, sports and fellowship. Please keep these young men in your prayers as they discern how God is calling them.

Our very own Diocesan employee, Jordan Easley, was one of the first customers at the Barber on Bishop Bradley Lane at Cathedral of Saint Joseph, Manchester, New Hampshire today!

Along with reporting that demand was high with a full roster of customers, he shares, "Beginning to end, it was a proper barber shop experience. The barber was friendly, the atmosphere was man-tastic, and it's the best haircut I've ever had."
