ARE YOU BEING CALLED?


“The call to holiness is a universal call, valid for all human beings without distraction of age, profession, race or language.  Just as all are redeemed, so all are called.  The vocation to holiness means putting into practice, in one’s own daily life, the example and teaching of Jesus Christ”.

~ St. John Paul II
