As Vocations Director, I am very aware that the work of promoting vocations is the work of the whole Church and is too big a job for any one person or group of people. I now have a whole army of people across the diocese who are sustaining our work in prayer, actively finding ways to promote a culture of vocations in their local communities, and enthusiastic in getting the message about our vocation efforts and events out to our young people.&#8221;<\/p>[\/dsm_card_carousel_child][\/dsm_card_carousel][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f2f2f2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][dsm_text_divider header=&#8221;Downloadable Artwork&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/dsm_text_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][dsm_card title=&#8221;Hundredfold&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vocationministry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hundredfold.png&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download Image&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vocationministry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hundredfold.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;80ff426d-a218-4c62-b837-033dacf671f6&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/dsm_card][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][dsm_card title=&#8221;Sembrando Semillas&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vocationministry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Sembrando-Semillas.png&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download Image&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vocationministry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Sembrando-Semillas.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;80ff426d-a218-4c62-b837-033dacf671f6&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/dsm_card][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][dsm_card title=&#8221;Resource Book&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vocationministry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Resource-Book.jpg&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download Image&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vocationministry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Resource-Book.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;80ff426d-a218-4c62-b837-033dacf671f6&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/dsm_card][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"et_pb_module dsm_text_divider dsm_text_divider_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-text-divider-wrapper dsm-text-divider-align-center et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-text-divider-before dsm-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"dsm-text-divider-header et_pb_module_header\"><span>Carpeta de prensa<\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-text-divider-after dsm-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>La historia de Vocation MinistryVocation Ministry comenz\u00f3 inadvertidamente en 2011 en la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica Santa Cecilia en Houston, TX, con una simple petici\u00f3n de un p\u00e1rroco y un simple s\u00ed de una fiel laica. \u201cNuestro vicario parroquial reci\u00e9n ordenado, el P.
