…by promoting vocations to their diocese/order/religious community, who would you promote? If you could include a link to their vocations page or a little blurb about why you like them, that would be awesome 🙂

I’ll start:


This is the Order of Carmelites, Province of St. Elias. These are the religious who serve my parish. I don’t know if anyone has noticed a pattern in my posts, but I greatly admire these fathers and brothers and have only good things to say about them. They serve in the U.S., Trinidad, and Vietnam. Many are ordained priests, but not all. Their ministries include parish priest, spiritual director, chaplain, teacher, and campus minister. I have seen young men from all over the world come to join them.

These are holy and faithful men who regularly go above and beyond the call of duty for their flock. Despite my being a girl and therefore having no potential place in their community, they’ve treated my discernment with extraordinary interest and warmth, sacrificing their time and energy to discover God’s plan for me. It was through their intercession that I think I found my vocation. So if any of you young men out there are discerning a call to priesthood/religious life, please check them out. I’m not sure if I’ve met their vocation director, but I know the assistant vocation director and can testify that he is a kind and joyful priest. So don’t be afraid!

Ok, I said my piece! Anyone else? 🙂
