Vocation and Discernment
As a college student, you are constantly asked what you are studying and what you want to do with your life. Perhaps you find them difficult questions to answer because, if you are honest with yourself, they speak to more than just a job. They speak to what kind of person you want to be; they speak to vocation. Discernment is the discovering of who you are called to be and how you are called to love by listening to God's movement in your life. The following resources can help you on this journey of self-discovery.
- Catholic Network of Volunteer Service: CNVS is a membership organization of over two hundred domestic and international volunteer and lay mission programs. Their excellent website can connect you to these programs and help you find ways to serve.
- Catholics on Call: A service of the Bernadin Center at the Catholic Theological Union, Catholics on Call helps young adults discern God's call in their life.
- The Diocese of Lansing: The Vocation office of the Diocese of Lansing helps you discern your call to the religious life or priestly service within the diocese.
- PIME Missionaries: Their website provides information about their ministry around the world and opportunities to serve with them. (Our pastor is a PIME missionary.)
- Vision Vocation Network: Vision provides many resources to help you discern a call to the priesthood and/or religious life.
