Vocations Awareness Week Begins Today

The Diocese of Memphis began Vocations Awareness Week and its Called by Name initiative on October 26. The program runs through December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.

The initiative asks parishioners to prayerfully identify and recommend men and women they believe are called to the priesthood, diaconate, or consecrated life. The diocese encourages people to submit names of individuals who demonstrate leadership, service, faith, and a love for Christ and the Church.

Nominations can be submitted through the Office of Vocations webpage on the diocesan website. The program is part of an effort to foster vocations throughout the diocese.
