National Vocations Awareness Week has officially begun - and on the Solemnity of All Saints!

Every saint reminds us that we are made for holiness. And every vocation is an invitation to pursue that holiness by giving our lives to Christ. So, how can you participate this week?

⭐Pray for an increase in vocations.
⭐Encourage someone discerning the priesthood or consecrated life.
⭐Ask God how He is calling you to holiness.
⭐Share the joy and beauty of a life lived for Christ!

The saints said yes to God's call. How is He asking you to say yes? #NationalVocationsAwarenessWeek by @austinvocations

This past Saturday, we gathered at St. Helen’s in Georgetown for our annual Vocation Promoter Workshop! We had a wonderful time learning how to promote vocations through ministry, relationships, and accompaniment.

A heartfelt thank-you to Rhonda, Leticia, Vocations Ministry, our dedicated vocation promoters, and the amazing staff at St. Helen’s for making this day possible!

Together, we help others hear and respond to God’s call!

“Every November, the Catholic Church in the United States sets aside a week to pray in a special way for men and women who are discerning a call to the priesthood and consecrated life: National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW).” - Father Greg Gerhart, Vocation Director

“This year, it will fall on Nov. 1-7, and for our diocese, the observance carries an extra note of gratitude — it falls during the fifth year since our diocese began Vocations Ministry.

“Two of our seminarians are the direct fruit of this initiative (not to mention the thousands of men and women who received letters from our bishop that planted seeds in their hearts to seek God’s loving plan for their lives), and since Vocation Ministry started, the number of our seminarians has grown to as many as 60!”

“Cada noviembre, la Iglesia Católica en los Estados Unidos separa una semana para orar de manera especial por los hombres y mujeres que están discerniendo un llamado al sacerdocio o a la vida consagrada: La Semana Nacional de Concientización sobre las Vocaciones (NVAW por sus siglas en inglés).” - Padre Greg Gerhart, Director de Vocaciones

“Este año, esa semana será del 1ero. al 7 de noviembre, y para nuestra diócesis, la observación de esta semana llevará consigo una nota extra de agradecimiento – ya que coincide con el quinto año desde que nuestra diócesis inició el ministerio de vocaciones.

“Dos de nuestros seminaristas son el fruto directo de esta invitación (sin mencionar los miles de hombres y mujeres que recibieron cartas de nuestro obispo que plantaron semillas en sus corazones para buscar el plan amoroso de Dios para sus vidas), y desde que el Ministerio de Vocaciones comenzó, ¡el número de nuestros seminaristas ha crecido a tantos como 60!”
