Vocation Teams
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, we are working to establish Parish Vocation Teams in every parish in the Diocese of Peterborough. If we really want to build a Culture of Vocations in our Diocese - that is, a culture where it is natural for young people to ask the question 'what does God want me to do with my life?' - then we need more people to help! We need you to help! And you can do so by joining your Parish Vocation Team (PVT).
These are teams of people who are gathering to pray for vocations and to do humble, manageable things in our parishes to keep Vocations in the minds of our young people. In this work, we are guided by a wonderful resource written by Rhonda Gruenewald called 'Hundredfold: A Guide to Parish Vocation Ministry.' Rhonda explains what parish vocation work looks like and divides the work into four types of activities; Prayer activities, Affirmation activities, Awareness and Education activities and Youth activities. Parish Vocation Teams may do something as simple as inserting a prayer for vocations in the Prayers of the Faithful at Sunday Mass - that would be a big help! So please don't feel unqualified - be courageous and join us! Contact Father John for more details or to connect with your Parish Vocation Team.
