Renew the Church by inspiring vocations
National Vocation Awareness Week • Nov 5-11, 2023
“Ask yourselves, young people, about the love of Christ. Acknowledge His voice resounding in the temple of your heart. Return His bright and penetrating glance which opens the paths of your life to the horizons of the Church’s mission. It is a taxing mission, today more than ever, to teach men the truth about themselves, about their end, their destiny, and to show faithful souls the unspeakable riches of the love of Christ. Do not be afraid of the radicalness of His demands, because Jesus, who loved us first, is prepared to give Himself to you, as well as asking of you. If He asks much of you, it is because He knows you can give much.” ― Saint

DISCIPLESHIP & DISCERNMENT
Marketing does not produce vocations. Rather, we believe the only solution to the vocation crisis is discipleship. When young Catholics say, “Jesus, I give my life to you!” it leads naturally to the question, “Lord, what should I do with my life?” An authentic encounter with God, followed by sincere, open discernment is the surest path to increasing vocations.
