vocation

YOU are very much a part of our life and mission! Here are some awesome (and practical) reasons why we need your support for the ministry!

Sister Maria Brizuela, OSF, shares her favorite scripture passage and how she applies it to her life. She also lets us in on what superpower she would love to have!

I clearly heard a voice telling me to “enter the convent”. Now, I’m not much for hearing voices, but this message would not go away. I remember going into our church which was a huge, quiet place. I would kneel by the statue of Mary and ask her to have her son leave me alone!

At a point along my discernment journey, I was given the advice, “It’s not a career question, Maria, it’s a vocation question.”

I first contemplated the call to religious life in the seventh grade when I heard a diocesan priest talk about religious vocation. His talk touched the core of my being. Without fully understanding what it meant, I decided to be a sister, and found my way to where I was meant to be.
