Vocations

VOCATIONS

The Catholic Church teaches that Almighty God calls each baptized person to one of four vocations: marriage, single life, ordained ministry, or the consecrated life. Each vocation has its own dignity and can be a pathway to holiness. At the same time, Christian tradition has always upheld the special dignity of consecrated celibacy. In light of this, St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute makes a special effort to promote vocations to the Christian Brothers and to the diocesan priesthood. St. Joe’s is proud of its many graduates who have answered Christ’s call to serve the Church as brothers, priests, or deacons.

Christian Brothers’ Contact Program:
This program is designed to help a young man (ages 18-35) discern if Christ is calling him to serve the Church as a Christian Brother. The program has three components: retreats, spiritual direction, and summer ministry.  A number of SJCI graduates are members of this program.  If you would like more information, please email Brother Peter Killeen at bropete38@hotmail.com.
