Today we pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life, we also remember in our prayers all priests and nuns who have responded generously to God's call.Throughout the week we will have links to other sites and materials which may help us to discern (listen, pray and work out) what God may be calling us to do.
And for those who think or know God is not calling them to be a priest or religious - maybe He is calling you to pray, suggest, support or ... play an important role in someone else's journey of discernment. See later this week a 1 minute video for parents.

As a parish we are well placed for those who want someone to talk to. For members of other parishes you may want to talk to your parish priest, or catechist, or religious sisters or brothers linked to your church.
