What is a vocation? Many people use the word vocation (from the Latin vocare, meaning "to call") in reference to the call to be a priest, sister, or brother. However, the Catholic understanding of vocation is much broader: every baptized person has a vocation--a call--to love and serve God. How you choose to live out that vocation is what each person must discern. Some feel called to live as single or married laypeople; others choose consecrated life and join a secu-lar institute or religious community (as sisters, priests, or brothers); still others choose ordination as deacons or diocesan priests. What is a sister or nun? A sister or nun is a woman who belongs to a religious order, or community. Many people use the word nun interchangeably with sister, but technically nuns are those who live a cloistered (or enclosed) monastic life; whereas sisters serve in an active ministry.

What is a brother? A brother belongs to a religious community of men. A brother takes religious vows, usually poverty, chastity, and obedience. A brother's life revolves around prayer, communal living in a religious community or monastery, and a ministry within the Church and society. A brother is not ordained to the priesthood, and thus does not perform the sacramental duties of a priest. What is a monk? A monk is the male member of a monastic or contemplative order. Some monks make solemn vows. Monasticism is a particular form of religious life built around a rule, such as the Rule of Benedict, and the Divine Office, a set of prayers and psalms chanted or sung at various points in the day. What is the difference between a diocesan priest and a priest from a religious order? All priests are ordained to the priesthood through the Sacrament of Holy Orders. However, a man may choose to be a diocesan priest (sometimes called a secular priest) or a religious priest (or order priest).

If he chooses to be a diocesan priest, then he enters the diocesan seminary system, and once ordained typically serves within his own diocese (a geographic territory designated by the Catholic Church). He is appointed to his ministry—most often parish work—by the bishop of that diocese. A diocesan priest is accountable to his bishop and the people he serves.

If a man chooses religious priesthood, he joins a men's religious community. While he may perform parish ministry, he generally serves in other ways, typically doing work related to the mission and ministries of his religious congregation. A religious priest is accountable to his major superior and the other men in his community for his religious life and his local bishop and the people he serves for his priestly duties. Are young adults pressured to join a religious order if they request information? Trained vocation ministers adhere to a code of ethics that specifically encourages them to allow inquirers a sense of true freedom to choose or not choose religious life or priesthood without any pressure or expectation from others. What is the process to enter religious life? Typically someone interested in religious life goes through a discernment process where they prayerfully consider the call to religious life, explore vocation options, contact religious communities, and eventually begin a more formal process of discernment with a particular religious institute. Can married people enter religious? Widowed and divorced? Religious life in the Roman Catholic Church is reserved for celibates only. Some religious institutes have accepted widowed and divorced people who have had their marriages properly annulled by the Church.

If you have a call for the religious life, contact Fr. Ron Zanoni, Vocation Director for the Diocese of Las Vegas at 702-735-3500

Their name will remain for four consecutive Sundays. If a longer period of time is needed, please contact the parish office. (The date next to the name is the date their name will be removed)

Today’s Gospel HAVE NO FEAR

Matthew 10:26-33 “So have no fear of them [those who persecute us], for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. What does it mean to us?

1. Following Jesus may include persecution and may bring fear. We should not let fear control us. As is the case with so many things, we are to be masters of our minds and bodies. Fear that comes from the flesh, that tells us to avoid sharing Jesus’ words with others because of apparent risk, is to be put aside.

2. GOD CARES FOR US! WE ARE OF GREAT WORTH!

3. Freely acknowledge Jesus. Declare who he is to others. He will not forget us.

Parishioners and Staff of Our Lady of Las Vegas,

I would like to offer my deep appreciation for your kindness to me during my recent visit for the Mission Appeal. Fr. Gerry, Fr. Tom, Julia and all the staff made my

visit a true gift to me. I also want to thank you for your response to the appeal for Hands Together and their work in Haiti among the poorest of the poor.

RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults 2017-2018 FALL ENROLLMENT

Are you thinking about joining the Catholic Church or learning more about it? Ask yourself these questions:

• Where is your journey of faith leading you? • Are you interested in knowing more about the Catholic Faith? • Do you know someone who might be interested?

If so, come and see what the RCIA process is all about. The Right of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process for non-Catholics who are interested in (or even thinking about) joining the Catholic Church. It’s a process for those who have not received all of their Sacraments. Each year our parish begins this process to welcome any and all who are curious about, interested in, or just want to know more about the Christian faith as it is lived and celebrated in the Roman Catholic Tradition. This process is an amicable faith-sharing among friends. ENROLLMENT: June 9, 2017 - September 6, 2017

PROCESS BEGINS: September 6, 2017
