They’re back! The Men in Black!

Sunday night softball is a vocations game.

The home team wore Holy Spirit red. The visitors … well, they are the Men in Black. On a recent July, they battled for bragging rights and treated the crowd to a little sports evangelization, all to raise awareness for priest vocations.

The annual summer event was held at St. Helena’s field in Sherrill, part of Spirit of Hope Parish in Madison County.

When the contest was over the home team scored more runs, but the priests and seminarians scored the most points with the crowd and showed the Diocese of Syracuse, once again, how blessed we are to have this fantastic team of holy servants to shepherd us through life. And perhaps there were one or two young men in the stands – or anywhere else -- who might see themselves running the bases for Jesus someday. Visit vocations-syracuse.org to learn more.
