Dear Jeanne, 

Here are some very brief answers to your questions, and I hope you will discover your own vocation when it is time.

1) What attracted you to this ministry? It was the example of a priest I met. God used that meeting and the impression he made on me to put something in my heart. I looked for what he seemed to be asking me and then I followed, to see if that was it for sure.

2) Why do you stay with it? Because I now know for sure God wants me to do this. This makes me love what I do even though it is not always easy. Also I see so many blessings that come to others and to me through my vocation. It has made me extremely happy.

3) What do you find most rewarding? It is wonderful to be at peace with yourself knowing you are doing what you are supposed to. I love helping people, teaching them about God's love, and helping them in the Sacrament of Confession.

4) What does the Church teach us about vocations? The Church tells us that God chooses some people to give up everything else and love him alone and do his work. This is a gift to the person called, and also to the Church since part of these persons' vocation is to pray and work for others in the Church.

God bless.
