Next weekend throughout the diocese is Called By Name Sunday: an initiative of the Diocese of Austin Vocations Office that celebrates God's call to each of us to follow Him in a particular way. Bishop Vasquez has written a letter to us about this event, which we encourage you to read. At every parish in the diocese, our priests will share the story of their vocation to the priesthood-how he listened and responded to God's call. As part of this special weekend, we are asking you to participate in two ways:
Rev. Greg Gerhart , Vocations Director, recruits, counsels and assists seminarians during their formation to the priesthood. The Vocations Office also offers programs and retreats for men and women who are interested in discerning a call to the priesthood or religious life.
Please call the vocations office, 512-949-2430 visit: www.austinvocations.com or https://godiscalling.me/
“We pray that the faithful response, “Behold, I come to do your will, O Lord,” will be voiced by each person discerning a call to serve Christ as a priest, deacon, sister or brother. We pray to the Lord. Amen.”
Is God calling someone you know?
Pray for them.
Please remember in your daily prayers our seminarians, those in religious formation and all those currently discerning God’s call.
