More on Souls and Goals

As previously mentioned, Fr. Vogel was recently in St. Louis to compete for the...

... Souls and Goals Soccer Cup.

The game designed to show that priests and men studying for the priesthood take part in normal activities with joy and drew over 1,000 spectators.

Before the game, The Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus led the teams and the crowd in evening prayer.

In the game, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Lions soccer team (who play in the CYC's adult soccer league) faced Clergy and Co., a team of priests and a few of their friends.

 It was a tight game that was scoreless at halftime...

... but the seminarians pulled at a 2-0 win in the end.

You can read more about this in the St. Louis Review. They were the source of the pictures shown above.

Souls and Goals

The last few weeks Fr Vogel has been practicing and preparing play in a big soccer game last night. He wasn't the only one excited for the game:

Last night there was a standing room only crowd for Souls and Goals: Soccer Cup 2013. There clergy, like Fr Vogel, took on the Lions of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary. (They took their mascot from Archbishop Kenrick's motto, noli irritare Leonem, "Do not anger the lion.")

In the end the Lions won 2-0 in this event held to promote vocations. Thank you to Katie Pesha of the St. Louis Achdiocese for sharing the news and some pictures.
