The Church has four primary types of vocations: priesthood, religious life, marriage and single life. This month, as we celebrate all vocations, here are some resources to help you discern or embrace your own vocation.Â
Anointed to Lead: The Baptismal Call of the Parish Staff, by Stephen Wilbricht, CSC. In Anointed to Lead, Stephen Wilbricht and a team of ministers invite parish staff and leaders to reflect on how they can guide parishioners to embrace their baptismal vocation of discipleship and mission.Â
Hundredfold: A Guide to Parish Vocation Ministry, by Rhonda Gruenewald. Hundredfold is designed for the ordinary Catholic who wants to encourage an extraordinary new wave of vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life and sacramental marriage!Â
Your Christian Vocation, by Ave Maria Press. Understanding the rewards of a lifelong commitment to Christ is an important goal. Your Christian Vocation helps the baptized learn how to live their lives to the benefit of others as they consider a vocation of service—in marriage, priestly or consecrated life, or the single life—to the Church and their own communities.
To borrow these or other resources, the diocesan library and Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry are open for in-person visits and consultations 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. You may also visit the library website. Once you make your selections, you can email the request.
