The Franciscan understanding of vocation is that each one of us is called to follow God by discerning our own and respecting each other's call.
The Office of Vocation Development encourages students, staff, faculty, and alumni to seek out how they are to live in this world, to accept and respond to the calling that is evident in the circumstances in which God has placed them.
The focus of vocation is at the heart of who we are.
"I have done what was mine to do, may Christ teach you yours."
--St. Francis of Assisi
What is Vocation and What Do We Do?Our definition of vocation is: Employing one's gifts and talents in a lifetime of doing what God has called one to do.
The Office of Vocation Development works to engage, equip, encourage, and enable individuals to pursue their call to service.
Through our programs, we will nurture and generate a cadre of young religious leaders. Such persons will live out their lives as ordained or lay leaders within churches, faith-based organizations, religious communities, and the businesses, organizations and institutions of our society.
