Vocation Sundays this May

Over the next three Sundays in the diocese, we’re inviting you to spend some time thinking about your God–given vocation. 

Most of us will work out our vocation in our homes, families and places of work. Others may sense a call to full–time ministry in the Church. All are ways in which we uniquely contribute to the world for the glory of God and the sake of his kingdom. All are invaluable to God and his Church.

To help us consider vocation, Bishop David has invited Revd St Armstrong (above) to record a sermon which will be shared in our parishes on either 14, 21 or 28 May. Stu was ordained in 2022 and is currently serving his deacon year in the parish of Magherally & Annaclone.

In Down & Dromore there are many capacities in which you can serve. Visit the Training section of our website HERE.

Podcast 

Revd Jono Pierce, rector of St Finnian’s, Cregagh, and regular podcaster, recently explored the subject of vocation in an interview with his colleague Andy. Andy changed his life a few years ago moving from a career as a primary school teacher to becoming an ordained minister in the Church of Ireland. He speaks about some of the joys and challenges of that change in a fascinating interview.
