Everyone has a vocation!

A vocation is a call from God to be the person you are most meant to  be! Every vocation is sacred and is a way to give one's life to God. We  speak of four basic Catholic vocations:

  • Married Life
  • Single Life
  • Ordained Life (priesthood and diaconate)
  • Consecrated Life (men and women religious)

Discernment

 Discernment is the process of making a decision based on where God is calling you. Some primary tools of discernment are:

  • Prayer with a heart open to God's prompting
  • Reflection on your life's experiences in light of your gifts and the needs of the Church
  • Dialogue with those who know you well and can help you find your truest self
  • Dialogue with a spiritual director
  • Prayerful consideration of pros and cons of primary options

DAVA is here to be a companion on your vocation discernment journey!
