God is calling. How will you answer?

Every baptised person is called to a life of meaning, service, and love. Your vocation is God’s unique invitation to you.

What is a Vocation?

Vocation comes from the Latin vocare – “to call.” Through baptism, each of us is called to holiness and to make Christ’s love known. Your vocation is the way you live that call.
