A Message from the Vocations Director
Welcome! Discerning how God is calling you to love and to serve Him is not an easy task, nor can it be done alone! If you are seeking assistance in discerning God’s call in your life, please do not hesitate to reach out to your parish priest and to me to explore that call more deeply. While the Office of Vocations does mostly focus on the Diocesan priesthood, we are happy to support and provide resources for any vocation that you might be discerning. You are not alone! Be assured of our prayers for you as you pursue God’s will in your life.

Remember: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” – John 14:27
I look forward to meeting you!
In Christ,
Fr. Joshua Weaver
