God has a plan for you, have you asked him what it is?
What happens if we ignore his will for us?
Whether your vocation is religious, single, married or Lay Ministry, there is a place for you!

Rosminians
St. Francis of Assisi Parish is served by priests of the Institute of Charity (Rosminians). The Institute of Charity was founded in northern Italy by Blessed Antonio Rosmini in 1828. The mission of the Institute is to pray, study, and to follow the call of the Church whenever asked. Presently there are Rosminians serving parishes and schools in the United States, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, India and Africa.
If you have questions about Discerning with the Rosminians, either as a lay apostle or priest, please contact Father Edison, edisonbernabas@hotmail.com.

Prayer for Vocations
Gracious Father,
You have called me in Life and gifted me in so many ways.
Through baptism you have sent me to continue the mission of Jesus by sharing my love with others.
Strengthen me to respond to your call each day.
Help me to become all you desire of me. Inspire me to make a difference in other’s lives.
Lead me to choose the way of live you have planned for me.
Open the hearts of all to listen to your call.
Fill all with your Holy Spirit that we may have listening hearts and the courage to respond to you.
Enkindle in my heart and the hearts of others the desire to make the world a better place by serving as sister, priest, lay minister, brother or deacon.
Amen
