La vocaci\u00f3n del matrimonio produce vocaciones religiosas, y las vocaciones religiosas son el medio humano para el punto de entrada de todos los cat\u00f3licos a una vida sacramental llena de gracia. Fomentar vocaciones fuertes y valientes en el mundo moderno es el alma del futuro de la Iglesia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sin embargo, actualmente 3.500 parroquias en los Estados Unidos no tienen un sacerdote residente, adem\u00e1s de las m\u00e1s de 1.700 parroquias sin sacerdote en Canad\u00e1. Actualmente, muchas di\u00f3cesis, particularmente en el norte y noreste, anticipan que el 50 por ciento de sus sacerdotes alcanzar\u00e1n la edad de jubilaci\u00f3n el PR\u00d3XIMO A\u00d1O. Al mismo tiempo, las filas de las hermanas religiosas han disminuido a niveles vistos por \u00faltima vez hace un siglo, y los matrimonios sacramentales, la base de todas las vocaciones, se han desplomado en un 55 por ciento desde 1990. La crisis de las vocaciones norteamericanas es inequ\u00edvocamente clara.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aunque esta realidad es aleccionadora, \u00a1el celo por cultivar todas las vocaciones est\u00e1 aumentando! Los directores de vocaciones, l\u00edderes parroquiales y feligreses dedicados de todo el pa\u00eds se esfuerzan fervientemente por fortalecer los v\u00ednculos del matrimonio y la vida familiar y celebrar la belleza y nobleza de las vocaciones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nuestro objetivo, el objetivo de Vocation Ministry, es crear un ambiente en cada parroquia, escuela y familia que anime y permita a hombres y mujeres decir f\u00e1cilmente &quot;S\u00cd&quot; al llamado de Dios en sus vidas al sacerdocio, la vida consagrada o el matrimonio sacramental. . Todos los que disciernen esta importante decisi\u00f3n deben sentirse apoyados, <strong>\u00a1cuando escuchen la llamada y dondequiera que escuchen la llamada!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 hace Vocation Ministry?:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>EVALUAR<\/strong> promoci\u00f3n vocacional actual&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ESTRATEGIAR<\/strong> nuevos esfuerzos para involucrar a los promotores&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PLAN<\/strong> Talleres para sacerdotes, laicos y educadores.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CAPITALIZAR<\/strong> sobre el impulso de los talleres&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>La renovaci\u00f3n de la Iglesia y la cultura cat\u00f3licas depende de la promoci\u00f3n y construcci\u00f3n activa e intencionada de las vocaciones.
