  • “Do your part in the work of Christ the Priest with genuine joy and love.” – The Rite of Ordination to the Priesthood

  • Vocation comes from a Latin word meaning “calling”. Usually when we hear the word vocation, we think of the priesthood. However, every single person in the world is called by God to love and serve Him…

  • The state of being single is what we’re all born into. For some people, the single state is their lifelong and stable response to the call of Christ.

  • Jesus calls many women and men to the vocation of marriage and being parents. Married couples promise to serve each other with love and to serve the whole Church. They enter into a life-long covenant of love.

  • Consecrated life is the Church’s way of referring to the wide range of opportunities for individuals to dedicate themselves to a life of prayer and service, often as sisters, nuns, brothers and monks.

  • Do not be afraid to accept this call. You will surely encounter difficulties and sacrifices, but you will be happy to serve, you will be witnesses of that joy that the world cannot give. – Pope John Paul II

The Samuel Group

The Samuel Group started last month for single young adults (18+) in the London area discerning their future. The group is for those wondering what God is calling them to do with their lives, whether that be the priesthood or consecrated life, decisions about a career, or spending time as a missionary or volunteer. Meeting on the first Tuesday of the month starting with Mass at 5.30pm, meeting in Lady Chapel at 6.30pm, finishing at 7.30pm.

Please note that due to COVID-19 the next few meetings have had to be cancelled.

Dolgellau Carmelite Monastery in Wales invite women to ‘Come and See’

Dolgellau Carmelites have always tended to rely on word of mouth, personal introductions and a good old fashioned letter or phone call when women have wanted to test their vocation. However this year they are breaking with tradition and launching a series of ‘Come and See’ weekends, to enable single women who feel they might have a vocation to get a taste of the sisters’ life of prayer.
