For the first time, the Shrine of Our Lady of the Martyrs in Auriesville hosted the annual Region II Spring meeting of Vocation Directors in New York State. Father Jason Hage, director of the Office of Vocation Promotion for the Syracuse Diocese, initiated bringing the directors into the footsteps of St. Isaac Jogues. During St. Isaac Jogues’ captivity at Auriesville in 1640s, Father Jogues was the only priest throughout the vast regions of what would become NYS, a scarcity keenly felt by priests today. Pictured are, from left, Father Carlos Limongi of Archdiocese of New York, Father Matthew Conger and Father Christopher Carrara of Ogdensburg, Father Jason Hage of Syracuse, Father Sean Magaldi of Rockville Centre, Father David Baker of Buffalo, and Father Mitchell Zygadlo, a pilgrimage priest from Pittsford.
