A Calling to Monastic Life: A Benedictine Monk’s Vocation Story

  • Prince of Peace Catholic Newman Center 4502 20th Avenue Northeast Seattle, WA, 98105 United States (map)

This week’s Lumen speaker is Fr. Joseph Park OSB, a monk from Westminster Abbey in Mission, BC. Originally hailing from the Seattle area, Fr. Joseph will share his journey of discernment and how it ultimately led him to the monastic life. Join us for an inspiring vocation talk as Fr. Joseph shares his story about how he became a monk.

Similar to Theology on Tap, a Lumen event is when we host a young adult or outside speaker, but then chant night prayer together (called “Compline”) with the Dominican Friars. This is followed by our social, when we share a refreshing pint of beer or non-alcoholic drink. The topic and speaker for this date will be released in the future (usually at least 2 weeks beforehand)

The speaker begins at 7pm sharp (plan to arrive a bit early) and the pub social ends at 10pm.

*** If you plan to leave before 10PM, you MUST park at UW parking lot N5 (5 min walk away), or else your car will be double parked in.

RSVP is not required
