Br. Damian & company at St. Leo, Omaha
Each year the Omaha Archdiocesan Association of Consecrated Life sponsors several Vocation Awareness Days for both rural and urban sixth grade Catholic school students. Students have the chance to hear the vocation stories of women and men religious, members of secular institutes, priests and deacons from various communities throughout the Archdiocese. It is a wonderful opportunity to expose young people to the witness and ministry of men and women who have committed their lives to serving God, the Church and the world. With Br. Tobias still in Germany, Br. Damian volunteered to represent the community and hosted several small group sessions each of the five days. He was also privileged to be one of the keynote speakers for two of the days.
All Christians are called to vocation ministry. We are called to identify, nuture, and encourage the faithful use of the God-given gifts in others, especially in the youth. Let us pray that young men and women may have the courage to commit their lives to serving God in whichever way God has called them.
