Religious Life
An Invitation from Fr. James Waite

Have you ever considered priesthood, diaconate, or religious life?  Have you wondered about serving the church in a professional capacity as a lay minister?  I invite you to prayerfully consider if God is calling you into His service.

A call from God deserves a response on your part.  I believe that many men and women are being called... but they find it hard to respond, or hard to give a committed "yes."

If you are discerning where God is leading you, I invite you to talk to me about it.  Call me or send me an e-mail at frwaite@stjohnslockport.org.
