Today's Readings & Reflection
Do not be astonished that I said to you, “You must be born from above.” The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.’ Nicodemus said to him, ‘How can these things be?’ Jesus answered him, ‘Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
‘Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. (John 3:7-15)

God calls each of us for a unique and meaningful purpose. As part of our Diocesan renewal, we are invited to deepen our understanding of vocations and foster a culture where every calling: priesthood, consecrated life, permanent diaconate, marriage, and lay vocations, is nurtured and celebrated.
The Vocations Rally is an opportunity to:
- Reflect on how God is calling you - which is the theme for the Rally this year "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening." (1 Samuel 3:10)
- Discover ways to support vocations in our diocese and families
- Pray for and encourage future labourers for the Lord’s harvest (Matthew 9:38)
Here is an opportunity to reflect, celebrate, and pray for a greater response to God’s call in our Church.
This complimentary conference includes lunch and refreshments. Registration is required.
