Vocations

THE CONFUSED CATHOLICS CLUB 

aka, The Vocations Group at Newman

Next gathering

Confused over were God is leading you? Do you feel a call to the married life, religious life, or priestly life? Then come and join us for Mass and dinner each Thursday evening at Newman where you can meet others who are on the same journey of discernment you are on.

  • Mass for Vocations: 5:15p
  • Dinner in the Library: ~6:00 - 7:00p
  • Devotions / Bible Study: 7:15 - 8:00p

Visiting religious, priests and married couples will be joining us for dinner to talk about their ministries and vocation stories.

Come for all or part of the evening's activities as your busy schedule allows. Also, don't worry if you can not make it every week. Just know you're welcome when ever you can make it.

For more info, contact Fr. Doug, 549-0300 x34 or email
