CALL TO SERVICE:
Dear Friends: The Church wishes to call you to the service of making Christ and His call tangible to the young men and women of the world. You are to be an instrument through which our Lord can effectively touch the lives of others that they may recognize Christ leading, guiding, and direction their lives. You are to be a source of courage and support to those that seek to respond to God's call to priestly and religious life.

You will be called by Christ to many challenges and even possibly, sacrifices, to carry on this very important work of Christ. Consider though what you receive in return --- a greater awareness of your own vocation as a Catholic, a deeper sense of union with the mission of the church, universal and local diocese, and a profound satisfaction in helping young men and women find their place of service to God's people.

If you are ready to commit yourself to a greater personal growth in faith, a deeper involvement in vocation ministry, and zealous involvement in the work of Serra, please respond, "I do" to the following promises:

PROMISES:

Do you promise to follow the inspiration of Christ under the guidance of His church and archbishop in fostering vocations to the priesthood and religious life? (I do.)

Do you promise to open yourself to greater growth in, through, and with the Lord, so that you will be a more effective instrument, a more telling sign of Christís love and Christís presence? ( I do.)

Do you promise to pray daily for all vocations? ( I do.)

Will you see out ways in which you can encourage the vocations we now have in the church, so that these ministries can be even more effective? ( I will.)
