The Importance of Helping Young People Respond to God's Call

My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,
The work of recruiting vocations for the priesthood and religious life is a never-ending task. One method that our Diocese in Brooklyn and Queens has found to be very rewarding is to have an annual retreat for discerners. This began when now-Bishop Kevin Sweeney was our director of vocations and was continued by Father Kevin Abels, Father Sean Suckiel, and now Father Christopher Bethge. These men had one mission: to recruit. Once the discerners enter the seminary, their role and responsibility as director of vocations was transferred and given to the director of seminarians. This practice seems to work very well.
