We are a unique family of parents that have children who are discerning or have entered religious life. For most of us we are 2 or 3 generations away form having religious vocations in our family tree, if at all. Gone are those familial experiences by family members when they had
a child enter religious life that could rely on each other for support.
Having a support community such as Parents of Vocations provides you a ready-made family
that is walking, or has walked, in your shoes that can share their experience of the journey you
are now on.
Even though we have many things in common we do not share identical paths. Some
communities are cloistered, some allow periodic visits, and others even have freer interaction
policies. So as a community we have parents that have similar experiences to you. By building a
community we are able to share what we have learned, and support each other in fostering our
child’s vocation.
