Vocation Director
Sr. Pia Ignatius and I attended a Vocation Awareness event
at St. John’s University in Jamaica, NY. At the invitation of Br. Mike Sheerin FMS, who
serves as a Campus Minister at St. John’s University. Campus Ministry hosts three different evenings
throughout the year highlighting
Religious Priests one night, Religious Brothers another night and Religious
Sisters the third night in an effort to promote vocation awareness among
students on campus.
The event began with Mass in St. Thomas More, the University
Church on campus. After Holy Communion
there was a vocation talk given by a postulant with the Sisters of Charity. She
informed the students that we would be dining with them after Mass and
available for informal conversations
The real values to this evening were the witness of
consecrated life and praying at Mass with the students.
