  • “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

“Christus Vivit” Video Project

It is with a great joy that we announce the launch of the “Christus Vivit” video project, prepared by young Catholics from around the world one year after the Synod of Bishops that was dedicated to them. In this series of 26 videos based on different chapters of “Christus Vivit”, they will guide us to read this document through their eyes and will help us discover how the words of the Holy Father resound in the hearts of the “Under30” generation.
