And I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ~Matthew 16:18-19
All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded of you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age. ~Matthew 28:18-20
Your deepest happiness in life will come from listening to God, hearing his call and following that call which is often times counter-cultural to the world in which we live. We all have a specific vocation that God has ordained for us from the time we were created. Some men and women are called in a very special way to give up all and serve Him and His people in the Church.
If you are discerning the Priesthood and have questions or would like to seek counsel, please call the Parish office and schedule an appointment with one of our priests. Your inquiry will be held in confidence. Other information may be found at the Diocese of Raleigh Vocations Office.
