PRESIDENTS MESSAGE MARCH 2011
Our Diocesan Vocations Office, under the direction of Father Miguel Sanchez, is working hard to create an environment in our local Church that will nurture vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Bishop Ochoa has identified vocation development as a high priority in our diocese. This seems to me, to set the stage for the Vocation Office to “harvest” vocations to the priesthood and religious life. But few men step forward to enter the seminary unless they have had a personal experience with God either through the family, parish or school. In this regard, all of us are needed to create a culture that will nurture vocations to priesthood and religious life.
The work of the Vocations Office is structured to “harvest” vocations that are created by the entire Catholic community. If our Church does not have continuing flow of vocations to the priesthood, we need to look around in our family, in our parish and in our school to understand why this is occurring.
