HERE
I AM LORD CONFERENCES
Do
you have high school
and college students
and young adults who
you consider leaders?
Do
they understand that
Marriage is a Vocation
as much as the Priesthood
and Religious Life?
Would
attending a weekend conference
that answered vocation
questions for young people
be beneficial for your
parish, your community,
your ministry?
Would
you like to see engaged
couples, invest in
their marriage, by
living chastely?
Would
you like them to return
to your parish and share
with their peers the
answer to the question:
‘What
Is God Calling Me To
Be?'
The HERE
I AM LORD National
Vocations Conference
can change the way
young people look at
vocations. They will
return to your parish
excited about vocations.
They will learn that
marriage, single life,
the priesthood, religious
life as a brother,
sister, and nun are
all vocations in the
eyes of God and the
Church.
For six
years, our parish has
invested in developing,
what we believe is, the
finest vocations conference
in the country. We ask
you to talk to the adult
leaders of your parish
and ask them for the
names of young people
who would benefit from
a better understanding
of the meaning of vocations.
When
you have identified the
young people in your parish,
invest in their future
by registering them for
the HERE I AM LORD Conference.
They will come back to
your parish on fire about
what they have seen and
heard. They will return
ready to make a difference
in your parish, their homes
and their schools. Isn't
that something worth investing
in?
SURPISED
BY JOY!!!
Joy
is defined as the feeling
of happiness or extreme
cheerfulness. C.S.
Lewis wrote a book
in 1955 titled, Surprised
by Joy, in
which he recounts his
journey from atheism
to theism to Christianity. His
aim was to identify and
describe the events surrounding
his accidental discovery
of and consequent search
for the phenomenon he
labeled “joy.”
The one
word that best describes
the HERE
I AM LORD conferences
is, “joy”. The joy
that married couples and
singles have in sharing
their lives. The joy that
priests, brothers, and
sisters have sharing with
all they come in contact
with. It is that joy that
will put an end to the “vocations
crisis” we are experiencing
in the Church.
At
the HERE
I AM LORD Conferences,
married couples,
singles, priests
and religious come together
to share their joy!
The conference will prepare
you to “Go into the
whole world and proclaim
the gospel to every creature” (Mk
16:15) with that joy and
to begin your journey as
you seek the answer to
the question, 'What does
God want?" Come
experience that JOY!!!
