Vocations Newsletter
Voices Of Our World
Fall 2024
Hello, friends! As summer transitions to fall, the Vocations Team has prepared our Fall 2024 newsletter to accompany you in your discernment of God’s call through life’s seasons of awareness, growth and blessing. In this issue, Fr. Rodigo reflects upon why it’s important for a person to take time to consider whether he or she has a vocation to serve the poor overseas. In doing so, you might begin to recognize elsewhere in our newsletter what God is spelling out in your life. Hint: “V-O-C-A-T-I-O-N”.
As part of the Eucharistic Revival, we also share brief reflections on what “Eucharist” means to three of our Maryknoll Society members. Finally, consider joining us for our Fall “Come & See” missionary discernment retreat , October 11th – 13th, Chicago, IL, and other events where our Vocation Ministries team will be present. Blessings in your journey!
