Dear Friend,
If you are thinking about your life vocation – to become a priest, a nun, a religious, husband or wife, you are at the right place! In this part of St. Vincent website we would like to help you to discern which path God is calling you to take in your life. Please take a look at our resources and if you would like to talk with our clergy about becoming priest, nun or husband/wife, please email Fr. Chris at frchris@svmnj.org. We love you and we are happy to help you! “Do not be afraid!” (Mt. 14,27)
Pope Francis of Priestly Vocation:
Jesus is the one who calls, not the priest, nor the bishop or the Pope. It is Jesus who gazes at him with love, who shows him the people, who shows him the needs of the people of God and says, ‘if you wish, come help.’
