ST. MARTHA’S PANTRY OCTOBER CLOSURE

OLPH CHURCH FESTIVAL SETUP DAY CLOSED SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5TH REOPEN MONDAY, OCTOBER 7TH

Am I Being Called to the Priesthood?

To be precise, a man only “knows” he is called when he is ordained! However, there are many positive signs that can point to a vocation, and which can help a man make the deci-sion to enter the seminary and continue along the path towards the priesthood. Read these state-ments to yourself, take them to prayer, then act on what you know is right. God knows, you may be called to the priesthood!

• A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is important to me. • People have told me I would make a good priest. • Going to Mass and Adoration is a very important part of my

faith life. • The thought of becoming a priest keeps coming back over and

over again. • I feel called to give more of myself to others. • I have a burning desire to help people get closer to Christ and

to know the Truth.

If some of these statements reflect how you feel, if your heart is pounding even harder, if you sense a greater desire to find out if God is calling you to live in black and white, get in touch with the Vocations Director or our Pastor. vocations@dioceseoffresno.org Have no fear, the Lord wants only what is best for you!
