Vocations

Compass aims to help Roman Catholic men and women between the ages of 20 and 35 to discern their vocation, with a particular focus on vocation to religious life.
Compass groups meet for weekends over the course of an academic year, during the course of which participants have the opportunity of praying, sharing and discussing on topics such as discernment, vocation, prayer, ministry and the religious vows. There are currently two Compass groups in England, one meets at Worth Abbey in Sussex, and the other is mainly based in Katherine House FCJ in Salford with one weekend at Our Lady of Hyning Monastery, Carnforth.
Both groups are run by a male and a female religious from religious congregations which are members of the Conference of Religious, and the board of Catholic Vocations Projects (an independent charity) includes male and female religious from both apostolic and monastic congregations.
