General Announcements 

Vocation discernment panel discussion set for Aug. 25 at Holy Rosary Parish

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, 520 Stevens St., in Indianapolis, will sponsor a vocation discernment panel discussion in Priori Hall beneath the church from 7-9 p.m. on Aug. 25.

The panel will consist of men and women who have discerned religious vocations recently, including a recently ordained priest; two individuals who spent time living at a monastery and a convent but have since returned to the lay state; a young woman planning to enter a cloistered community next year; a Little Sister of the Poor who works with young women in their discernment journey; and parents who have a child that has seriously discerned a religious vocation.

The panelists will share their discernment stories, and ample time will be allowed for questions.

Father C. Ryan McCarthy, pastor of Holy Rosary Parish, will also give a brief overview of different kinds of vocations and the importance of discernment.

For more information, e-mail Pam Malinoski at phmalinoski@yahoo.com.

 

Sisters of the Living Word to host three hands-on discernment experiences this fall

The Sisters of the Living Word, based near Chicago, are offering three five-day hands-on discernment experiences on Sept. 12-16 and Sept. 26-30, and Oct. 17-21.

Participants will have the opportunity to join the sisters in assisting those in need, while also discerning the religious life.

All three events will take place in Holly Springs, Miss. Service projects include tutoring children, assisting at a food pantry, cleaning homes for the elderly, repairing tornado-damaged homes and serving meals in a soup kitchen.

The discernment opportunities are free and include meals and lodging, although participants will need to provide their own transportation to and from Mississippi.

The events are co-hosted by the Chicago Archdiocesan Vocation Association and Sacred Heart Southern Missions.

For more information, contact Living Word Sister Sharon Glumb at sglumb@slw.org, 847-577-5972, ext. 233, or 601-291-6738.

Father James Farrell will lead the retreat. The cost is $35, and information and registration are available by logging on to www.benedictine.org or by calling 317-788-7581.

The second event is another prayer service at the monastery, again praying for peace, at 4:45 p.m. on Nov. 6. Participants are invited to remain for the sister’s community prayer.

• Conversation with God: Forming Learners to Pray in Many Ways
• Using Saints in Catechesis
• Helping Kids and Adults Get the Most Out of Confession

Parish catechetical leaders will take part in a business meeting in the afternoon.

Check-in starts at 8:30 a.m. Lunch will be provided, and participants can bring a lawn chair if they wish to eat outside on the beautiful parish grounds. Participants are invited to stay—or visit Nashville then come back—for 4:15 p.m. confessions and 5 p.m. Mass at St. Agnes.

Each participant’s parish will be assessed $15 per participant.

The deadline to register is Sept. 1.
