National Vocation Week - Catholic Vocations

The first week of November is Vocation Awareness Week for Catholic Vocations. In honor of my girlfriend, Sheryl, I have posted the following from the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity. St. Francis took a vow of poverty and believed in good works towards all beings, including animals. He believed all of God's creation to be his brothers and sisters. This week is to honor all those who have consecrated themselves to the work and call of God on their life.

Vocation Awareness Week Hopes to Wake Up the World to Consecrated Life

by Sister Julie Ann on November 2, 2014

Vocation Awareness Week is all about discernment of God’s call. This includes Consecrated Life.  Anticipating the Year of Consecrated Life proclaimed by Pope Francis, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity and other religious from the Diocese of Green Bay began this week November 2, 2014 with a prayer service at St. Francis of Assisi Parish on Grand Avenue, Manitowoc, WI.
Mentioning many holy men and women by name, all present  invoked the intercession of the saints, sang inspirational songs, proclaimed the Word of God and recalled words of Pope Francis for this year of joy.

Are you discerning your own call from God? The world needs you. God calls you. We invite you. Listen to our Sisters share more about our unique call from God.
