Diocesan Notes:  Vocations

In the Gospel this Sunday we see Christ walk into the lives of the fishermen.  They had been mending nets, the tools of their work.  At His word, they leave everything to follow Him.  Being with Jesus becomes the essence of their lives, His person becomes the new net which to cast into the waters of time. The disciples become ministers of His Word.   Every call to the Sacred Priesthood occurs when the Lord walks into our lives with His words of invitation; “Follow Me.”  Answer his call, cast his nets.  Be a priest that will bring many to Jesus. Contact: Fr.
