Vocation Suggestion

Have you ever met someone and thought, “That person would make a good priests/religious”?

We want to meet this person!

A person called to the priesthood or religious life will have a sense of a spiritual call  by God to serve His people. This spiritual call is experienced by a recurring thought; a growing attraction to the vocation; a growing sense that one would find fulfillment by serving God as a priest/religious. A call to vocation must also involve:

— Love of God  that manifests itself in a desire to give one's life in service to God's people.

— Love of the Church and her Traditions and a desire to celebrate the sacraments for God's people.

— Love of God's word and a desire to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to God's people.

— A desire to serve the people of God as a servant-leader; after the example of Jesus, "who came not to be served but to serve."

— A heart that can listen to others and a desire to be the compassionate, healing presence of Jesus to God's people.

— Desire to deepen one's relationship with God through daily prayer. Liturgical, communal and private prayer sustain the priest to grow in his love and dedication to Jesus Christ.

— Generosity with one's time, talents and gifts. Priests are called to generously give of themselves for the good of the Church. Priests are called to be a "person for others."
