Called By Name
We are excited to share one way we can work together to accept Bishop Kulick’s invitation to foster vocations throughout the Diocese of Greensburg.
The Office for Priestly Vocations initiates a new opportunity: Called by Name Campaign. The Called by Name Campaign will allow you to submit names of individuals you feel God has brought to your attention as a candidate for a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. We are looking at candidates who are current eighth-grade students, those in high school, and young adults (up to age 39). Please submit their name via the following link.
We ask that everything be submitted by May 3. Names that are submitted will receive a letter from me with a gentle invitation to consider a priestly or religious vocation, along with upcoming opportunities to pursue learning more about discernment.
