Vocations

 

How is God calling ME to follow Him?

Catholic Vocations are many and varied. Priesthood, Permanent Diaconate, Religious Life, Single life and Married life are all valid Catholic Vocations.

Our paths may be different, but through our Baptism, we are all called by God to journey together. God calls everyone to follow Him - there is no question about that! The question is: how is God calling ME to follow Him?
