A vocation is a call from God to share intimately in His inner life of love. Out of his love, the Lord has created you and you alone for a specific mission. Your vocation is His invitation for you to share in saving the world as a single or married person, as a priest, deacon or religious.

Sometimes the pull of a vocation is strong, sometimes not. But if it keeps coming back—if this call is that nagging tug on the heart—then it must be followed. You are being called by God to do something remarkable, and that call must be pursued, or you will spend the rest of your life wondering about it.

We recognize those of our parish who have heard and heeded God’s voice in their lives: Johndy Gonzalez (Seminarian), Deacon Matthew Miguel (Transitional Deacon), Father Joshua Diener; Father Jeffrey Baker; Fr. Marinello Saguin; Fr. Danny Guinto; Neon Recuenco (Deacon), and Julie Ann Peña (Sor Audrey at Alliance of the Two Hearts). Please pray for them and for other people of our parish and elsewhere who are thinking of pursuing a vocation.
