Are you being called?

Is Jesus asking you to help make His presence visible in a world desperately in need of faith, hope, and love? Are you having thoughts and feelings about becoming a priest, brother or sister? Nothing is more important than discovering and living God’s will.

For Your Vocation.org – Vocation (Latin–vocare: called) A vocation is who God has “called” us to be. All of the baptized possess the vocation of the universal call to holiness and service in the Church.
