National Vocations Awareness Week: July 30 – August 6, 2017

Each year in August the Church in Australia celebrates National Vocations Awareness Week (NVAW).

This coming week is an opportunity for parishes, schools and other groups to pray for and to help young people discern their vocation from God whether that be to Marriage, Priesthood, Single Life, the Diaconate or Religious Life.

This is also an opportunity to pray for those who are currently in formation in Religious Houses of Formation and our own Provincial Seminary Corpus Christi College.

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
