What's happening in the Vocations Office?

Hello from the Vocations Office.

As we celebrate All Saints' and All Souls' Day these first days of November, we remember and pray for those who are enjoying their eternal reward in Heaven and our dearly departed loved ones who may need our prayers. We thank the Lord for the Saints who point the way to Heaven. We Pray for an increase in Vocations and ask the Saints to intercede on our behalf. Please share our upcoming events with someone you may know who wants to change the world, lay down his/her life for the sake of others, is committed to serving or actively involved in your parish.

Thanksgiving blessings to you and your families.

Quo Vadis Quarterly Gathering

Women's Discernment Retreat

November 4 - 7, 2021

These four-day retreats are designed for single Catholic women ages 17 - 30 who are discerning their vocation and provide an opportunity for them to explore the life and charism of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia. Those on retreat attend talks on St. Dominic, St. Cecilia, Marian Devotion, discernment and the formation process. Panels on vocations and the apostolate allow retreatants to hear testimonies and ask questions. Retreatants join the Novitiate for recreation, enter into the monastic customs of the community, and go on a tour of several schools of the Congregation.

For more information contact Sister Mara Grace, O.P. at 615.256.0147 or vocation@op-tn.org
