As we approach National Vocation Awareness Week (Nov. 3-9), Fr. Carroll reminds us of the Church’s need for dedicated leaders—priests, deacons, and consecrated religious. Vocations are a call to a life of purpose, service, and fulfillment, even as they require sacrifices. Priests especially live as spiritual “fathers,” shepherding their communities with love. If you’re considering a vocation, Fr. Carroll encourages you to embrace any fears as a sign of God’s call. Click to read.
