praises the worthy wife who brings honor and
good. In the second reading, St. Paul confirms that

Savior will return at any moment. Jesus teaches us
to use our gifts to the fullest.

Is God Calling You? Vocational discernment
groups meet to assist young men who are
discerning the possibility that God may be calling
them to a life of priestly ministry. These groups are
designed to explore a priestly vocation with other
like-minded men through prayer and sharing
vocation stories and experiences. The group
meetings aren’t meant to convince anyone that the
priesthood is their vocation. They are designed to
assist you in discovering if the priesthood is your
true vocation and build your relationship with
Christ along the way.
If you are a faithful, single, Roman Catholic man,
between the ages of 18 and 40, and are asking
yourself whether God is calling you to be a priest,
you are cordially invited to attend this month’s
discernment meeting on November 23rd, from 4PM
to 6PM at St. Charles Borromeo Parish, 2226
Riverton Rd., Cinnaminson. Join Very Rev. Peter
James Alindogan and Rev. Chris Picollo, as they
share their experiences of the priesthood, followed
by prayer and conclude with conversation and a
meal.
Please register with Diocese of Trenton Vocation
Office at [email protected] or by
calling 609/406-7449. Join us at this exciting time
as you discover and respond to His invitation!
