Vocations

Fr. Alex Zenthoefer leads a robust Vocations Office for the Diocese of Evansville. He suggests that two items are needed to discern a vocation. The first is silence. Without taking the time to listen, it is all but impossible to become more familiar with the voice of the Good Shepherd who desires to lead us to green pastures. For all of us, even if we’ve already discovered our vocation and are living it, we need silence to be sustained in the work of living it well.

Secondly, we need voices that can echo the voice of God calling women and men today. For this reason, the Vocation Office is launching a Called by Name program. Called by Name is an opportunity for the people of our diocese to identify women and men whom they think would serve well in the priesthood or religious life. The hope is to amplify the voice of God speaking in our world today.
