Vocations

Are You Called?

Do you have a sense of humor?
Do you like to work with people?
Do you want to make a difference in the world?
Can you lead? Do you sense there is a deeper meaning to life?
Are you sensitive to the needs of others?
Do you think there is usually more than one way to do something?
Do you get satisfaction from getting involved?
Do you consider yourself to be a hopeful, positive thinker?
Are you concerned with the direction that our society is taking?

If you found yourself answering yes to most of the questions above, you are probably giving thoughtful consideration as to what you could do with your life.

More than likely, you view your time and your life as unique resources which are too important to waste. You probably want to do more than “just a job”—you want to make a difference.

There is a great need in the Church for creativity and for individuals who can communicate through word and action the message of the Gospel.Do you think you can make a difference to the Church in your lifetime?

We take this opportunity to invite you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to consider following Him in this special way. Think about the source of all your talents and gifts. Think how you could share these gifts with many people, both young and old.

Listen to the voice deep within as it calls you to Come and Serve. Do you feel ready to to consider this challenging though rewarding way of life? —adapted from the Vocations Booklet of the Archdiocese of Westminster
