Bill Blazek, Matt Couture, Chris Dierkes, and Mike Shawver visit province high schools during annual vocation tour
Thursday, April 04, 2002

(From L to R) Dr. William Blazek, Jr., Matthew Couture, Michael Shawver, and Christopher Dierkes in the library at Loyola House in Berkley, MI.
The annual Vocation Week tour by the first-year novices took place from March 10-17. This series of visits to prvovince high schools has a two-fold purpose: to give the novices an opportunity to share their experiences of vocation (and hopefully plant a few vocation “seeds”) and to get better acquainted with the communities and men of the province.

Bill Blazek, Chris Dierkes and Mike Shawver, all Chicago province novices, visited four of the five high schools in the province and spoke to a variety of students about their vocational choice. The fourth Chicago novice, Matt Couture, went on a similar tour through the Detroit Province high schools.
