Vocations
God calls all of his people into his service: All are called to serve God and work for the building up of his kingdom on earth that the world may believe. From among his faithful people God calls people to serve him in the diaconate and the ministerial priesthood, to be shepherds of his flock and to represent him on earth. He also calls men and women to consecrate their lives to him in a special way through the calling of the Religious Life.
Saint Mary's takes serioulsy the mandate to discern vocations to the Sacred Priesthood and Distinctive Diaconate and prays regularly for an increase in vocations both to the priesthood, diaconate and to the religious (monastic) life.
We would welcome any enquiries with regard to vocations at whatever stage of discernment you may be at.
Saint Mary's wholeheartedly supports the work of the Additional Curates Society, for whose support we are greatly indebted. Information on this organisation can be found by following this link:
