IF YOU HEAR GOD'S CALL


                                    The Process of Discerning Your Call

Contact Vocations, and we will:

(1) Listen to you and Respond to what you ask. Everyone is unique
     and has a personal "track-record". So, suggestions will be given
     to help you investigate your Call in your own way.

(2) Arrange Contacts, so you may meet with those who have had
     similar experiences. Seminarians, priests, susters, brothers,
     or deacons will be happy to talk with you about their discernment
     process. 

(3) Invite you to Opportunities, such as "Come & See" retreats and
     other discernment meetings, plus annual seminary visits.
     These are open for you to learn about discernment and to talk
     with others who are discerning.

(4) Provide Materials, such as books, videos and prayers too stimulate
     you in helping yourself in discernment.

(5) Be there for you. As you progress, whenever you have concerns,
     questions, or uncertainties about anything, please contact us
     and help will be available.
