Priests, nuns and others in Religious life are not unusual in Ave Maria but dozens more can be seen this weekend as the university celebrates the Festival of Religious Life. "What I like very much about what is happening here," Bishop Frank Dewane said in his homily at the 9 a.m. Mass, "is that itis a festival."
The festival gives students and others a chance to better understand the meaning of religious vocations by meeting people from a number of different orders.
