St. Rita in the Desert Roman Catholic Community
The Vocations Ministry, a crucial part of our Parish, is dedicated to guiding and supporting each Parishioner at St. Rita in the Desert Parish in discovering their unique 'calling' within the Roman Catholic Church. This mission is not just about finding a role, but about fostering a deeper connection with God. We are united with the Diocese and all other Parishes in our shared goal of cultivating a vibrant culture of vocations.
Below are the different Vocations:
- Priesthood
- Religious Life
- Permanent Diaconate
- Marriage and Family
- Consecrated Single Life
It's important to note that while all vocations are experiencing a decline, there is a particularly urgent crisis in the vocations of the Priesthood, Religious Life, and Marriage/Family. This is why our initial focus will be on these three areas, as we strive to address this pressing issue.
Our current Vocation Ministry point of contact is Mr. Adam LaGuardia, who has volunteered to help the Parish get this off the ground. If you would like to assist Adam in this ministry, please contact him at Vocations Ministry.
