3. Saints: Models of Discernment
Parishes are requested to post the attached poster and distribute the attached Discernment Weekend flyers. Please place the following notice in bulletins:
God calls each and every one of us to be a saint, to become the man or woman he made us to be according to our own unique individuality like St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Avila or St. John Paul II. Vocational discernment is about discovering where God is calling you and then living out that call. Men and women 19 years and older are invited to attend a Vocation Discernment weekend from May 15-17 at Camp Morice facilitated by Fr. Terry Brock, Diocesan Vocations Director and Most Rev. Stephen Jensen. Cost is $50 for the weekend. To register, email your name, phone number and age to office@sacredheartnews.ca or call Sacred Heart Parish in Terrace at (250) 635-2313.
