STEUBENVILLE, OH (September 8, 2009) - Franciscan University of Steubenville will host its 10th annual Religious Vocations Awareness Day on Friday, September 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Finnegan Fieldhouse.

The event, one of the largest vocation fairs in the county, is free of charge, and the public is encouraged to attend. More than 70 religious orders and diocesan vocation directors will be present to answer questions about their communities.

Franciscan's Pre-Theologate Program and Chapel Ministries will sponsor both the fair and the Mass at 12:05 p.m. in Christ the King Chapel for those discerning consecrated life.

"It will offer all students a greater perspective on religious life and ordained ministry," Pre-Theologate program director Father Ken Cienik says. He encourages everyone to attend the fair, even those not directly looking into religious life. "It is good for lay Catholics to meet religious... [And] many orders also have lay affiliates."
