VOCATIONS
In the Catholic Church, a vocation is a divine calling from God to follow a specific path of life and holiness. Every Catholic shares a universal vocation to holiness received at baptism, which is lived out through distinct states of life - these states are generally designated Marriage, Priesthood, Consecrated Life, Permanent Diaconate, Single Life.
Sometimes God’s call begins quietly, as a gentle tug on the heart. If you’ve been wondering whether He’s drawing you towards a vocation in the Church, we’d love to walk alongside you. Fr. Peter is always happy to meet informally, listen, and offer guidance as you discern your next steps.
St John Henry Newman says,‘God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another.’
GOD'S PLAN FOR VOCATIONS IN THE CHURCH
If you sense that God is calling you to a vocation within the Church, we would be happy to assist you in your discernment process. Please reach out to Fr. Peter to schedule an informal conversation.
St. Padre Pio often used to say: “Pray, hope, and don’t worry!”
The Lord loves us deeply and watches over us with great care. He is with us at every step of our journeys.
We should endeavor to live out our faith with both sincerity and joy. Make every effort to discern you true calling. Dedicate ourselfs to following God's will as we perceive it. Then, leave the rest in His hands—He will never let us down! Moreover, share your discernment and prayers with our Mother, who will guide us in deepening our understanding of God's plan for our lives.

What does God require from us?
“Take, O Lord, and receive: all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will. All I have and all I possess are yours, Lord. You have given it all to me. Now I return it to you.
Dispose of it according to your will. Give me only your love and your grace, for this is enough for me”. St Ignatius Loyola
