How to discover your vocation

We have eight new sessions about vocation that will help people understand the different Christian vocations and discern where God is calling them. We have arranged the sessions into five different pathways.

See which pathway you could run as a short course in your parish, chaplaincy, or school. You can focus on marriage, priesthood and consecrated life, or the permanent diaconate, depending on the group you are working with. Or run the full 8-week “How to discover your vocation” course, or the shorter course on “Practical tips for discernment…”

These pathways are available for SycamorePlus subscribers. Visit the main SycamorePlus page for more information. See the full list of SycamorePlus films here.

You can watch the first film without a subscription here.
