RELIGIOUS VOCATIONS

God has a wonderful plan for each and every person. We prayerfully support each individual in the discernment of God's vocation. Talking about vocations is not a recruitment effort but a way of encouraging everyone to be open to whatever God's call is.
A life lived completely in service to God may or may not be valued by the world around us, but such a dedication to the Gospel is always treasured here in Ave Maria. There are a number of priests, deacons, and nuns who have come from Ave Maria University and our parish. As a community, we especially pray for those who have been called to a Religious Vocation.
