Called By Name Sunday: an initiative of the Diocese of Austin Vocations Office that celebrates God’s call to each of us to follow Him in a particular way.  At every parish in the diocese, our priests will share the story of their vocation to the priesthood - how he listened and responded to God’s call.  As part of this special weekend, we are asking you to participate in two ways:

1) Be open to God’s call.  For those who are able – be open the call to the priesthood or religious life.  These vocations are beautiful gifts both to the Church and to those who are called. So be open, and be courageous if you hear the call.
2) Spend time this week thinking about someone in our parish who God may be calling to the priesthood or religious life - someone with the qualities that you would want in your priest or religious sister.   

God is the one who calls, but He often uses our voice of encouragement and invitation to do so. With your help, we can make this Called By Name Sunday a great success that will bear fruit in our diocese for generations to come. Thank you for your openness and generous participation.
