Vocations » Vocation Awareness
Vocation Awareness
Your call grows from a love for Jesus and a desire to help others to love Him.
Although there are many calls in life including marriage, lay ministry, secular institutes, and single life, this week our focus is on discerning a call to serve in the priesthood or a religious community.
Discerning a Vocation
Am I Called? - The Diocese of Manchester's Vocation webpages include several topics to help those discerning a vocation.
Three "Calls" from God: Is God Calling? - This article from the Institute on Religious Life offers practical solutions to finding God's will concerning a vocation in one's life.
Vocation Quest - This website is for women discerning a call to become a Catholic Sister.
For Your Vocation - This website offers guidance and resources for men and women who are discerning their call as well those who are in a supportive role including parents, educators, youth leaders, and voation directors. Be sure to watch the wonderful video testimonials.
