Institute for Priestly Formation

On Wednesday evening, seminarians gathered at Christ the King Parish in Omaha for adoration and benediction as part of IPF's annual Friends' Night. Each seminarian participating in the Summer Program is paired with a prayer partner who faithfully prays for him throughout the six-week program. Friends' Night provides a special opportunity for seminarians and their prayer partners to meet for the first time, sharing an evening of prayer followed by fellowship.

The evening concluded on a joyful note as several seminarians formed an impromptu band and performed an original song they had written in honor of St. Thérèse of the Little Flower. They then invited everyone to join in a spirited sing-along of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads," bringing the community together in a memorable celebration of faith and friendship.
