Discerning Your Call from God

Every person has a vocation—a unique way God invites us to live a life of holiness. For some, this call is to marriage. Others are drawn to consecrated life, religious communities, or consecrated virginity lived in the world. Some feel called to holy orders, as permanent deacons or priests, serving Christ and His Church in a special way.

Wherever God may be leading you, the Church desires to walk with you as you listen, pray, and discern.

“Do not be afraid! Accept the invitation of the Church and Christ the Lord!” — Pope Leo XIV
