Lorentsen will set up his vo cation ministry in a new friary in Pittsboro, N.C., at the end of Au gust. In the meantime, however, he will spend a week in El Salvador as well as three months with the Franciscan Friars in Costa Rica while improving his Spanish skills. Lorentsen further study of Spanish will enable him to work with various Hispanic men in North Carolina who may be interested in discerning a vocation as a Franciscan Friar. Lorentsen said he was sur prised that his religious order, the Conventual Franciscan Friars, asked him to work in vocational recruit ment, but he recognizes the need for this type of ministry and is looking forward to speaking Spanish. The Catholic Campus Minis ter said he feels it’s hard to leave Elon, partly because “working with the Catholic Campus Ministry has been one of the best experiences of my life thus far.” He also said: “During my time here, I have been honored and privileged to work with the college chaplain, Richard McBride, the Intervarsity campus minister, Ray Crompton and our wonderful sec retary, Rene Summers.” see LORENTSEN, page 5
