I have been in Princeton, NJ for two weeks now. I will be here for the rest of the summer. I am participating in an internship program called Leaderworx. It is pretty cool. The seminary and program are part of the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians). Pretty much the concept is "the opportunity to explore their lives through community living, service to the poor, formation in Catholic Social Teaching and immersion in the work of social justice."

This is from the website.


Two key concepts are at the heart of LeaderworX: vocation and faithjustice.
Vocation: Where are you coming from? Where are you now? Where are you headed? Understanding our purpose and learning to discern our calling as young adults are essential to having a meaningful life.Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on how they respond to their ‘calling.’ This is the spirit of vocation that informs the work, conversations and experiences at LeaderworX.
Faithjustice: What does it mean for a Christian to live faithfully in the world? How do we integrate an awareness of injustice and engagement of the world with our spiritual lives? How does that happen within the life of our faith community? LeaderworX seeks to form young adults committed to the integral relationship between Christian faith and social justice and attempts to give them the tools to make advocacy for justice a part of their lives.


It's pretty rad. We have done all kinds of cool things. I will try to put as much on here as I can. I should probably try to keep a record of all the things we have been doing so I won't forget and also just to let everybody know whats going on in my life for now. Peace out for now.
