Quo Vadis Days is a camp for young men with a desire to learn more about priesthood. Quo Vadis translates to: where are you going? Legend tells us that St. Peter asked Jesus this question on the outskirts of Rome, and we know where Jesus went in response to His Father’s will.
The four-day/three-night camp sponsored by the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocations Office and in collaboration with the Diocese of Joliet Vocation Office is an engaging event that is 100 percent seminarian led. The retreat is open to young men, ages 13-18, that want to learn more about the priesthood. Those attending will have a life changing encounter with Christ while having the time of their life.
