riests, seminarians and monks teamed up with eighth grade and high school students of the Topeka Region for an April 17 matchup at Hayden High School. The annual Runnin’ With The Revs basketball game showcased the players’ skills on the court while promoting vocations. All donations to the event went to benefit archdiocesan seminarians.

There are two games each year — one in Johnson County and one in Topeka — that have eighth grade through high school-age students team up with clergy to promote vocations.
