The "Cycling Seminarians" pedaled their way through the Philadelphia suburbs last week in an effort to encourage young people to think about pursuing a Roman Catholic religious vocation. The first stops for the eight cyclists, from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood, were at St. Maximilian Kolbe on Route 202 in West Chester and St. Joseph on Manor Avenue in Downingtown. After that they visited St. Teresa of Avila, Norristown; St. Eleanor, Collegeville; St. Rose of Lima, North Wales; St. Agnes, Sellersville; Our Lady of Guadalupe, Doylestown; St. Andrew, Newtown; St. Catherine of Siena, Horsham; and St. Genevieve; Flourtown.
The seminarians posted Facebook updates ("Philly Vocations") and photos along the way, including their stop at the Stroud Preserve on Creek Road in East Bradford Township.
The bicyclists were accompanied by Father Chris Cooke, the director of the seminary’s Spirituality Year program, as well as a support crew of more than a dozen other seminarians and volunteers.
