As we continue celebrating Vocations Awareness Week, our new Associate Pastor, Fr. Carl, shares a bit about his journey to the priesthood, offers advice for those discerning a vocation to priesthood or religious life, and talks about his excitement to begin his ministry here at St. Gerald! Welcome Fr. Carl! #vocationsawarenessweek #StGerald #encounteringjesus | St. Gerald Catholic Church, Ralston, NE

Today we celebrate Vocations Awareness Week by highlighting Holy Cross parishioner Emily Byers, who shares her beautiful calling to the vocation of consecrated virginity. Emily speaks about her journey of discernment, what it means to live as a consecrated virgin in the world, and what her life has looked like thus far as she lives out her vocation. Let us join together in prayer for an increase in this unique and sacred vocation—and for all those discerning and in formation within our diocese.
