Quo Vadis? . . .

If you have teenagers in the family, you will know that this is not the easiest time for them - exam results loom! I hope that all our young people have achieved the exam results they were expecting, hoping for, or needed for the next stage in their education and indeed the next stage of their life.

I wonder how many young people when considering the future, have give even a few seconds' thought to the possibility that God may be calling them to quite a different future than most of their peers.

Perhaps the following excellent video might cause some people to allow themselves to at least consider the possibility. This is part 1 of 2 videos on vocations. Please watch this blog for part 2 in the next few days.




Talking of vocations, which I was (and hopefully many parents out there are too) there are several events coming up soon in our diocese organised by Fr Paul Turner, our Vocations Director.



Saturday 17th October at Christ the Prince of Peace, Weybridge.
'God's Plan 4 U' The day begins with Mass at 10.00am and finishes about 4.30pm.


Samuel Groups.
Monthly gatherings to support young adults (18-35) in discerning their vocation.


From October there will be Samuel Groups running on Tuesday evenings at The Friary Church in Crawley and on Thursday evenings at St Dunstan's Church in Woking. (7pm - 9.30pm)


For further information please contact Fr Paul Turner pdturner39@yahoo.com or via the website http://www.calledbyname.org.uk/

What a fantastic video Fr Míċeál. Thank you for posting this and the other two videos recently.

They say 'a picture paints a thousand words'; I certainly find that words and pictures together in video format put the message over so much better than either one alone.

Looking forward to seeing part 2!
