Hope does not disappoint!

Message from Fr Joseph Raju Katthula CMF, Religious Life Promoter at the National Office for Vocation.
Greetings from the National Office for Vocation (NOV). I hope and pray that you are keeping well by the grace of God.
We are delighted to invite you to register for the National Religious Vocations Personnel (NRVP) 2024, which is to be held on 2nd November 2024, 9.30 am to 4pm. We are fortunate this year to have two guest speakers. Fr Nicholas Crowe OP the provincial superior of the Dominican order in UK and Beth Przybylska, the strategic project director at Catholic Youth Ministry Federation (CYMFed). Fr Nicholas is author of the famous book ‘Living our Vocation (Even If You Don’t Know What It Is Yet)’. Fr Nicholas will guide us through his reflections on how we are able to sow the seeds of vocation into the hearts of people, while Beth will talk to us about the culture of young people today. Mass will be part of the schedule on the day.
