Vocations
Have you
been called by God to serve as a priest, deacon or in a
religious order? We invite you to call the parish office
and speak with our Pastor, Fr. Fidel Melo – 274-6520 x314 or
our Parochial Vicar, Fr. James Stuhrenberg – 274-6520
x312. They are happy to talk to you about your vocation
and will direct you to the individuals within our diocese who
may help you discern your calling.
You may also visit the
Diocese of Charlotte website at www.CharlotteDiocese.org and
choose the Vocations tab on the horizontal menu bar.
Here you will find more information on Women Religious,
Deacons, and Seminarians within our diocese.
Prayer to Discover and
Follow My Vocation
My Lord
and my God, you are Love itself, and the source of all love
and goodness. Out of love you created me to know
you, love you, and serve you in a unique way, as no one
else can. I believe that you have a plan for my
life, that you have a task in your Kingdom reserved just
for me. Your plan and your task are far better than
any other I might choose; they will glorify you, fulfill
the desires of my heart,
and save
those souls who are depending on my generous
response.
Lord, grant me the light I need to see the
next step in that plan; grant me the generosity I need to
set aside my own plans in favor of yours; and grant me the
strength I need to put my hands to your plough and never turn
back. You know me better than I know myself, so
you know that I am sinful and weak.
All the more
reason that I need your grace to uphold the good desires of my
heart, O Lord!
Show me your will for me, O gentle and
eternal God, and help me to say with Mary, "I am the
servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your
word," and to say with Jesus, "Let not my will be done, but
yours."
