Brothers in St. Francis, Brothers in Christ, Brothers in the Fund for Vocations!

We are honored to have seven men in formation with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal Friars of the Renewal:

Br. Athanasius Peter (Chris L.)
Br. Bernard Joseph (Matt M.)
Br. Simon Joseph (Roland H.)
Br. Basil Marie (Hayden C.)
Br. Francis Immaculata of St. Louis (Ryan B.)
Br. Anthony Solanus of Detroit (Jeremy K.)
Br. Leo Immaculata of Tampa (Tyler C.)

Br. Leo Immaculata recently celebrated his investiture and first vows. These brothers took the opportunity to take these pictures together and thank our supporters for opening the door to religious life for them by removing the obstacle of student loan debt.

When they were too poor to make the vow of poverty, the Catholic lay faithful stepped forward to help.

If you love vocations and want to unlock more of them, please consider contributing to our summer matching campaign! Between now and this Saturday, August 22, your gift is MATCHED for double the impact.

You can use the link in our bio to make a gift.

Praise be Jesus Christ for the lives and callings of these young men!

Just a little appreciation post for some of our wonderful grant recipients with the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia in Nashville, TN.

Many of them just celebrated or are about to celebrate vow anniversaries, and it’s a great time to appreciate their lives of contemplation, joy, truth, and spiritual strength.

We love you sisters! Thank you for teaching, praying, serving, laughing, and loving the family of the Church in a way that only you can!

It was a great joy to be present at The Napa Institute 16th Annual Summer Conference with so many friends and grant recipients!

Our special breakout session on vocations covered important topics like how the laity can best support those in religious life, common obstacles that stand in the way of people discerning vocations, and how we as a Church can build a culture of vocation in our homes, parishes, schools, and communities.

Special thanks to our panelists - Monsignor James Shea from University of Mary, Fr. John Burns from Friends of the Bridegroom, Father John Anthony Boughton of the Friars of the Renewal, and Sister Ann Dominic Mahowald, OP of the Dominican Sisters Mount de Sales Academy

Religious vocations are not just a thing of the past, they are a living, essential presence in the Church today. God continues to call men and women to belong only to Him.

Please join us in praying for these eight recent grant recipients who enter religious life in the next few weeks. May God bless their generosity and courage to say “YES” to the promptings of the Holy Spirit!

Thanks to the support of the Catholic lay faithful, we were able to take over their student loan debt so they can enter formation without delay. It’s an honor to free these men and women for God’s call.

If you or someone you know is struggling under the burden of student loans while discerning religious life, please reach out to us. And if your heart is moved to support our mission so we can continue to make grants to every qualified candidate, you can use the link in our bio to make a gift.

Happy second anniversary of vows to Sister Petra of the Sisters of Mary Morning Star!

These sisters live a contemplative life in convents across six continents, wholly given to prayer and intercession for the world. Their aspiration in their communities is to be silent witnesses of the redeeming love of Christ for all men. While they preserve true cloisters for their convents - places of silence and solitude where the sisters can focus on a life lived for God alone - they also open their doors to all those who wish to share in their times of prayer. They seek to carry the people of the world in their prayer, and to be a presence of joy and hope in an often dark and confusing world.

Thanks be to God for the gift of Sister Petra’s total gift of self to this life of prayer! And thank you to our supporters who made it possible for her to take these vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and enclosure.

If your heart is moved to support men and women like Sister Petra, please join us at the link in our bio.

🙏

Discernment is as unique as each human soul, but these suggestions are tried and true helps for the journey.

We were so happy to be able to assist Hailey so she could enter formation with the Fairfield Carmelites. Even more special, the priest you see in these clips is Hailey’s spiritual director, Father Joseph Favole of the FSSP North American Province, another grant recipient of the Fund for Vocations! Vocations have a beautiful ripple effect in this way.

Join us in praying for Hailey and all young men and women who are discerning cloistered life. They are praying for us!

This post was inspired by the stunning audio by Sarah Kroger Qu***ia. Following God’s call takes courage, but He leads the way.

Big update! 2023 grant recipients Sister Perpetua Rose and Sister Anna Simeon (pictured on the left hand side) have made their first vows as Sisters of Life!

The Sisters of Life give their lives to the truth that every human life is sacred and beloved. What a joy to see Sr. Perpetua Rose, Sr. Anna Simeon, and their sisters embark on this life of total gift.

We are so thankful to have been able to help them on their journey by eliminating the obstacle of student loan debt. God bless them! And thank you to our dear Sisters of Life for sharing these beautiful photos.
