In the simplest terms, the word “vocation” means a “call.” So, in general terms, your vocation is what God calls you to do with your life and how to follow Him. Everybody is called by God to know, love, and serve Him. The difference is in how we each choose to do this.

Individual vocations vary among being single, married, a religious, or a priest. However, we usually use “vocation” to mean a call to the consecrated, religious, or priestly life. As we progress through youth to young adulthood, God reveals our vocation to us, more as an invitation than an imposition.

Consider the possibility of priesthood or religious life! Life as a priest, religious sister, or religious brother is a dynamic combination of creativity, challenge, and fulfillment. We invite all single people to consider a religious vocation as a viable option for the future.

If you would like to discuss the development of your vocation or the possibility of a religious vocation, please call the parish office at (859) 252-7551 to make an appointment with our pastor. There is also a diocesan website dedicated to vocations: www.ichoseyou.com.
