“I have called you by name, and you are mine” (Isaiah 43:1)

What is Vocaré?

Vocaré is an instrument of renewal in the Church for young adults ages 19 - 30. Its aim is to concentrate closely on the person and teachings of Jesus Christ. Our faith is seriously examined in a relaxed and loving three day adventure shared with an international community of young adults. We strive to keep God first, find a place in His world while remaining in the center of His will, and look to hear Christ’s calling in the heavy life decisions that our age group encounters.

Vocaré encourages participation in one's home parish. It is an experience that gives those who attend the desire to understand and serve the Church. What's more, it provides a means to continue Christian formation. Young adults have a lot of questions. Is Christianity relevant today? Can it penetrate the many areas of college and work life? Can it transform the work and keep up with the changing times? Why am I here? Who am I? What am I supposed to do with my life? The Vocaré weekend focuses on Christ in our everyday life. He calls each of us to help carry on the work He started long ago. A relaxed, supportive atmosphere gives participants a chance to reflect on their calling. Vocaré may not hold all of the answers, but it is a great place to start listening to God's call to you. Vocaré believes that Jesus Christ has made, and will continue to make, a difference in the world and individual lives.

Vocaré is an encounter with Christ. That sounds simple because it is. Think about it: a real meeting with the living Lord, and the cost, power, beauty and joy of being with Him. Interested? JOIN US!
