4. Andrew Dinner - Des Moines: Young men who are high school juniors or older interested in learning more about the vocation of priesthood are invited to a great evening of prayer, good food, and fun with priests in the greater Des Moines area and Bishop Joensen. Dinner is at St. Theresa Parish, 1230 Merle Hay Road in Des Moines from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Tuesday, October 29, 2019. Saint Andrew, in the Gospel according to John, brought Simon Peter to meet Jesus. Like Saint Andrew, all Catholics should look in men for qualities needed to be a good priest and encourage them to listen for God’s call. Be like Saint Andrew and invite a friend to come with you! For food ordering, we kindly request you RSVP. Please contact your parish priest, email Father Ross Parker or call 515-237-5014.
