The family is the environment in which Christian
virtues are allowed to grow and it stands to
reason that it is also a place where the seeds of
religious vocations would be planted. The family
provides the seedbed in which the seed of a
vocation may be planted and nurtured. While
God issues the call to the religious life, parents
and families have an essential role in magnifying
the voice of God in the hearts and souls of their
children. Parents are stewards of the vocations
of their children.
Please pray for all seminarians.
Your prayers and support make a difference.
Help in creating a culture of vocation.
