Men preparing for formation to the priesthood of the Diocese of Richmond recently gathered for several days at Sandbridge shortly before departing to their respective seminaries. During that time the seminarians prayed together, heard presentations by priests and others associated with the diocese, and spent time getting to know one another better. With them in the group shot are Father Michael Renninger, director of the Office of Vocations, and Father Gregory Kandt, pastor of Church of the Incarnation in Charlottesville.
