The Director of Vocations for the Archdiocese of New York, Father Luke Sweeney, visited Boston College today, taking pictures of the statues of St. Michael and Doug Flutie. It was Father Luke’s first visit, and hopefully the first of many. Boston College has an ample supply of men from the Archdiocese of New York and the university should work something out where there can be cohesion between the NY archdiocese and campus.
Father Luke has an interesting idea concerning vocations in New York City, encouraging college students to return and make a contribution to their home diocese, whether that be through a religious or lay vocation. Keeping talented Catholics who pursue higher education outside of New York interested in their home diocese could really bring a revival to the religious institutions in the greater New York area. Its a fantastic idea, and as a native of the Archdiocese of New York, I hope it goes well.
