Quo Vadis Days 19Show GalleryCHARLOTTE — Restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted the Diocese of Charlotte to make adjustments to its annual vocation discernment camps this summer.

Belmont Abbey College is unavailable for both summer vocations camps this year, so the “Quo Vadis Days” men’s vocation discernment camp will be held later and at a different location: July 6-10 at the new St. Joseph College Seminary in Belmont. The women’s “Duc In Altum” camp has been canceled.

Space is very limited at the college seminary for Quo Vadis Days, so although the registration deadline is June 29, young men aged 17-19 are encouraged to apply as soon as possible for the five-day vocation discernment camp.

The goal of Quo Vadis Days is to challenge young men to ask the fundamental question, “quo vadis,” or “where are you going?” while equipping them with the tools and opportunity to discern God’s will for their life. The camp includes talks by local priests, seminarians and others on the vocations to the priesthood, marriage and fatherhood.

The cost to attend is $150, which covers all lodging, meals and retreat materials. Financial aid is available. Contact the Office of Vocations at 704-370-3353 for details.
