“Your life has meaning.”

That’s one of the important messages this week’s guests have for Talking Catholic’s listeners.

On this week’s episode, Father Tom Piro and Father Stephen Robbins – who are both associate directors for the Office of Vocations – talk about the Diocese’s newest initiative: “Called by Name.”

This November, every parishioner is being asked to prayerfully consider young men, from high school through age 39, who show the qualities of a good priest. On the weekend of Nov. 1-2, you’ll find “Called by Name” cards in the church pews. Take one home, or after Mass, write down the name of a young man you think could make a good priest. Return the card to the collection basket. The vocations team will do the rest!

“God wants to invite you to help build up His Kingdom,” the priests tell Jen Mauro and her co-host this week, Catholic Star Herald Reporter Pete Sanchez.

Learn about the program, how to listen for God’s call in your life, and pick up on some spiritual advice from these young priests!
