Vocations
Narrative is essential to how we understand the human condition, ourselves and how we relate to God and others. At the heart of narrative is someone's story. Often that story can evoke something within ourselves. The ‘Vocations Conversations’ video series tells the story of three men seeking to discern and answer God's call to service.
Deacon Tom Dubois
The first conversation is with a young man who has committed himself to service by ordination to the diaconate on his road to priesthood. Tom reveals something of his raison d'etre as he talks through his journey to priesthood so far. Sharing his joys, hopes and passions Tom explains how his formation at St John's Seminary and on pastoral placement at St John the Baptist, Trowbridge, has led him to ordained ministry.
Matt Anscombe
The second conversation is with a man who changed course from religious life to diocesan priesthood. Matt shares his rediscovery of Christ while in the world of work and his subsequent journey towards St John's Seminary. Matt explains how his desire to share and celebrate God's love with others is leading him to priesthood.
Ollie Lowson
The third conversation is with a young man who, to discern God's will for him, offered himself as a candidate for the priesthood. Ollie explains his passion for life led him to his first year at St John's Seminary.
Each story is unique. God had a call each of us to the fullness of life. Could God be calling you to the priesthood?
A leaflet and two posters to reflect the heroic nature of priesthood as well as providing contact information for the Vocations Director. The material features Father James Finan, ordained priest in 2006. With the slogan 'Real Active Service' the leaflet sought to answer the question of why the Church needs priests.
