We regret to inform you the virtual workshop scheduled for Thursday, July 24, has been canceled.
Dear Brother Priests,
Several weeks ago, we hosted the first ever Hundredfold Vocations workshop at our Chancery. This was the first step in creating a strategic plan to create a culture of vocations in our archdiocese. Many of you participated and walked away with hope and excitement at what God is doing in our growing local church. Your feedback also confirmed that our presenter, Rhonda Gruenewald, did a fantastic job of presenting data and resources that will allow us to make strides in supporting young men and women in doing the will of God to ensure our church is prepared to carry on the mission for ages ahead.
Those of you who attended, please remember to invite the parishioners whom you have discerned would be good vocation ambassadors in your parish by having them register for the in-person parishioner workshop using the invitation cards you received or by going to https://calledbychrist.com/vm-parishioner-registration
Many of you sent your regrets and have even reached out afterwards asking about getting access to a recording or summary of what was discussed. While we do plan to send out a modified version of the June 7 presentation, we know that it is always better to participate in something that is live and accessible.
Thank you for all you do to support vocations.
