INTERESTED IN A RELIGIOUS VOCATION?
Did you know that the word vocation is related to the
term “vocal cords” and means “a calling”?
More precisely it means spending your life doing
what your innermost heart feels called to do.
To follow a vocation means living your own unique
life.

have been considering a call to religious life please
