Vocations

We all have a calling—something specific that God calls us to. In the Church we commonly refer to this as our ‘vocation’. Each of us are invited by God to live a particular vocation or state of life. By living out our baptismal call to follow and imitate Jesus, we are able to discover what this specific call is.

Our vocation isn’t about our profession or career path. Rather it refers to the very specific way God is calling us to love others. Although your specific calling will be unique to you, there are four ‘categories’ of vocation that the Church uses to help us discern God’s plan: marriage, single life, priesthood and religious life.

In each of these four ways of life, God calls us to freely and generously respond to his call. By living out our vocation, we experience deep fulfilment and joy.
