The Calling: Priesthood Ordination of Deacon Olmedo

Welcome to The Calling
“A vocation is a divine call by God to be in service to others, especially the most poor and abandoned; it is a journey, not an event. It is a path toward understanding one’s faith and relationship with God in light of the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul. This is the mission behind “The Vincentian Calling.” Through a series of biweekly blogs, Vincentian Seminarians, Priests and Brothers of the Congregation of the Mission will share stories that inform and inspire others to grow deeper in and better understand their spiritual walk to a life of service filled with community, charity, and authenticity.”
