Listening to and following Christ is always an adventure. You never know where you're going, but you know you're on the right track. Jesus said, "Go to the ends of the earth. Proclaim the Good News!" We take these words to heart and are willing to go wherever the Spirit leads us. We may have to give up family, health and even our own lives in order to accomplish this mission, but there is no greater love. Message from the Vocation Director Prayer when Discerning Your Vocation
DISCERNMENT
Within this process we take a serious look at religious life in a Missionary context. We have discovered that many young adults really know very little about Sisters, Brothers and Priests or the process of "Seekers" usually meet once a month for about two hours, for prayer, talks or videos, community-building and refreshments. It is a complementary process to other kinds of Church ministry experiences in order to reflect and discover God. These "Seekers" are young men and women who are interested in many of the same things as you. These monthly meetings are a place to question, seek, and explore various vocations, including religious life.

Fr. Mike Miller, MSC (Pastor of St. Therese Parish in Aurora, IL) reflects on St. Mary Magdalene, drawing from his experiences in Bogotá, Colombia where part of his ministry included working with Fundación Vida Nueva (New Life Foundation), an organization which works with prostitutes and their children to break the cycle of prostitution. Each of us, no matter what our background is, can be transformed by Jesus' presence like Mary Magdalene was.
