If you live in or plan to visit northern Arizona this week, be sure to stop by any of the 14 parishes or six missions that make up the northern deanery of the Diocese of Phoenix. Chances are, you’ll run into #semsonthebus.

This marks the third annual trip to the northern deanery. They’re visiting 11 churches and holding eight events in five days, according to @PhoenixPriest, the official Twitter page for the Diocese of Phoenix Office of Vocations. Many of the seminarians are Tweeting from their individual accounts. Check out the #semsonthebus Twitter feed.

They’ve already visited San Francisco de Asis and Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Flagstaff. And they’re en route now to St. Francis in Seligman.
