Christ calls us to be witnesses to the Gospel. Each of us plays an important role in the life and future of the Church. We serve Christ and each other best through lives lived well… be that through marriage, a single life or as a consecrated religious, deacon or priest. Our spiritual development is ongoing; grounded in the sacraments and nurtured through prayer. 

For we, though many, are one body in Christ. … Having gifts that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them.” (Romans 12: 5-6)

Priesthood

Men who would like to serve God by preaching the Word, celebrating the Sacraments and serving those in need, you may have a vocation to the priesthood. For information, please speak to our pastor or call the Office of Vocations at 401-331-1316 or visit the Vocation Office website at www.catholicpriest.com.

Becoming a priest or a man or woman religious is not primarily our own decision…. Rather it is the response to a call and to a call of love. – Pope Francis, Address to Seminarians and Novices, July 6, 2013

Religious Life

Throughout history there have been men and women who, like St. Paul, used their gifts to serve God and their communities. Through various ways they have brought the Good News of Christ’s redemption to generations.

If you are a woman and feel God’s call to religious life, contact Sister Elizabeth Castro, H.M.S.P. Director, Office for Religious 401-278-4633 or email at:  officeforreligiousdioceseofprovidence.org
