Vocation & Mission @ St. John's
|
Everyone has a vocation, a special way to love and serve God. Whether you are called to the priesthood, permanent diaconate, religious life, sacred married life, or sacred single life, God has a plan for you. See below for bios and in the following pages for all those from our parish who are further discerning one of these vocations by answering God’s call. Let their stories inspire and encourage you to discern your own vocation. We also hope you will be enlivened by hearing about how God is at work in our community.
Please pray for those who are featured and offer them your support as they continue on their discernment journeys. The most recent of these parishioners answering God's call can be found in the church narthex on the display boards as well. “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) |
