Year of Consecrated Life “Did you know that the word vocation is related to the term vocal cords and means ‘a calling’? More precisely it means spending your life doing what your innermost heart feels called to do. To follow a vocation means living your own unique life. That’s of course what all of us would like to accomplish, but how shall we do it? If we ask people who are doing what they really love to do, ‘How did you get to where you are?’ we find that many of them started by asking themselves some basic questions: 1. What would I really like to do? 2. What am I good at doing or learning? 3. What opportunity is life offering me, right now, for doing what makes me come joyfully alive? Thus they started with themselves, with their own gifts and preferences.” - Vision Vocation Guide 2015 Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults WCC 2015 - Rites of the RCIA Presented by TeamRCIA June 5-6, 2015 The Western Conference of the Catechumenate presents “Rites of the RCIA,” June 5-6 at Holy Spirit Parish in Saskatoon.
