National Vocation Awareness Week Nov 5-11, 2023

This annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States is dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations.

Check out this video that features some of our Province Friars reflecting on their love of God and pursuing a vocation.

Do you feel called to follow in the footsteps of St. Francis as a disciple of Jesus?
Do you desire to embrace the Cross of Christ for the salvation of souls?
If the answer to these questions is yes, we would love to hear from you!
