Quo Vadis Days 2019

Quo Vadis Days is a four day/three-night retreat July

Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Youth Camp near

Wellston. The goal of Quo Vadis Days is to challenge

young men to ask the fundamental question, “quo

vadis” or “where are you going?” The retreat will

help equip them with the tools and opportunities to

prayerfully discern God’s will for their lives to be the

saints the Church and the world need them to be.

Space is limited. Register now at qvdays.org or call

the vocations office at (405) 721-9351.
