Religious Vocations Patch

God created all of us to follow His will for each of our lives. How we follow God’s will and what He calls us to be is known as a vocation. Answering His call and living out your vocation is the best way to live the life of holiness God intends for each one of us. While there are several vocations women are called to in the Catholic Church, this patch program is meant to specifically highlight the aspects of consecrated religious life and how to discern the important call to serve the Church.
