I want to Register

The workshop will include the following:

Breakfast and Lunch Mass with Bishop Olson at 11 a.m. Purposes of Parish Vocations Ministries Testimonials from Seminarians and Pastors Remarks from the Director of Vocations Overview of the Key Tools: Affirmation, Awareness, Invitation/Encouragement

Best practice sharing. Strategic Planning for Parish Vocations Ministries – development of a mission statement, creating a 12-month plan Pairing with a trained Serra Club Mentor to assist your parish vocations ministry in accomplishing its goals.

Pastors are encouraged to attend and to select a parishioner that would be a good leader in starting the Parish Vocation Ministry and up to four additional members to attend the workshop. As shepherd of his flock, the priest provides the Parish Vocation Ministry with vision, direction, advice, and ideas that can only come from a priest’s perspective. His vantage point allows him to see the entire parish—its needs, its activities, and its direction.

If you have questions about Parish Vocations Ministries, please contact the or , VP Vocations, Fort Worth Serra Club.
