Creating A
Culture
of Vocations
The renewal of religious life is integral to the renewal of the whole Church.
A Church without religious women is like a home without a Mother.
Every vocation needs the others to be well.
Building a Culture of Vocations: A work of the whole Church.
Whatever your role in the Church, you can support vocations and help the hearts of women flourish.
Supporting women’s vocational discernment happens in three stages: awareness, encounter, and accompaniment.
We have compiled resources and tools for every stage of this approach to make it simple to integrate wherever you serve- from your family dinner table to a national apostolate.
-
Before a vocation can be realized, it has to be revealed as an option. The first stage of vocational support is expanding your community’s awareness of the beauty of religious life.
-
Once the community is more aware of the beauty of religious life, they need a meaningful encounter with religious women. Facilitating that encounter is more art than science.
-
Once a woman has started to hear the Lord inviting her to consider religious life, she needs the loving support of people in her life. She needs accompaniment.
