Ave Maria Discernment House 1.76

Vocation means a “call”. Everybody is called by God to know, love and serve him. The difference is how each one does it.

Have you felt a certain stirring in your heart that calls you to investigate deeper?

You want to put God first in you life and find out what His plan is for you but you don’t know where to begin.

Discernment is necessary.

Discernment is, in itself, a grace and it must take place in a climate of faith.

In the one life God gave to each person there is an overriding purpose, to fulfill the will of God, because this is the key to eternal happiness.
Discernment should always be a preclude to action. Of itself discernment has no value unless it leads to action.

Discovering and ultimately following your vocation gives the greatest glory and praise to our Creator. It is what we were meant to do.

The Bishop of the Diocese of Calgary, the Sisters of the Religious Orders and those at Ave Maria House wish to journey with you and assist in any way we can.


Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honour anyone who serves me . (John 12:26)
