The "Call"
Through the sacrament of baptism, each person receives a "call" or vocation. and God calls all who are baptized to holiness and to serve. This call to holiness and service is lived out as a single, married, ordained or consecrated person in religious life.
Called by Name Sunday is not only an opportunity for us as individuals to be open to God’s calling in our lives. It is also a chance for us to allow God to call others through our invitation.
Is there someone you know who may be called to the priesthood or religious life? Help us to encourage them by sharing their name and contact information. There are two ways to do so: online or by mail. To share their information online, go to our website: AustinVocations.com/called/ - there is also a QR code on the envelopes we have provided at Mass that you can scan with your phone’s camera.
Those whose names are provided will receive a communication from Bishop Vasquez and the Vocations Office with encouragement and resources to hear and respond to God’s call for their life - no matter what it is.
Thank you for your generous participation in Called By Name Sunday. With your help, this initiative will bear fruit for our diocese for generations to come.
