Monsignor Sweeney is the IHM contact for Vocations and is seeking a Coordinator.
Please contact the IHM Rectory if you are interested in taking a leadership position.
Among the signs of grace bearing fruit in the life of the parish is the openness of all our young people to considering the possibility of the Lord calling them to the consecrated life or to the priesthood. Then, among those who discern the beginnings of this call, what follows is a concrete response of prayer and investigation of where God is leading them.
While interested parishioners can reach out to the priests and consecrated women religious of IHM to begin a conversation, as a parish we would invite people to gather regularly to ask the Master of the Harvest in prayer for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Those who sense a calling to support and encourage vocations in this way are asked to reach out to the pastor.
Becoming a priest or a man or woman religious is not primarily our own decision.... Rather it is the response to a call and to a call of love. - Pope Francis, Address to Seminarians and Novices, July 6, 2013
