Local Vocations

In our efforts to promote vocations on a broad scale, we can sometimes overlook the unique way that young men and women hear a call and respond to it. It can be easy to get absorbed by national vocation trends or the number of seminarians on our Diocese’s seminarian poster without asking ‘who should be discerning in my family or in my parish? ‘ This talk will focus on practical ways we can keep our focus grounded in parochial efforts where we can be leaders that enact real change and invite others in our parish to join us in keeping vocations a priority.
