Ordained Ministry

Words from Scripture and our Holy Father

"As He was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and his brother, Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, 'Come after Me and I will make you fishers of men.' At once they left their nets and followed Him."
—Matthew 4:18-20

"Take courage: Christ is calling you and the whole world awaits you! Remember that the Kingdom of God has need of your generous and total dedication. Do not be like the rich young man who, when invited by Christ, was unable to accept but remained with his possessions and sadness, even though Jesus had glanced at him with love. Be like the fishermen who, when they were called by Jesus, left everything promptly and followed Him."
—Pope John Paul II: Vocations Message 1989
