Goal

 

The goal of Program Twelve is to introduce students to the process of discernment of a vocation to Madonna House, and to the daily life of a Madonna House applicant.

 

Steps

2. Ask students to form small groups to discuss the following:

  • What kinds of work do applicants do at Madonna House?

  • What is discernment of a vocation? What are some signs that someone may have a vocation to Madonna House?

  • What did the applicants say about what drew them to MH?

  • What are the promises that Madonna House members make? Why would someone give their life to God in this way?

 

3. Option for Take-Home Assignment. Find out more about:

  • Vocations in the Catholic Church. What a vocation to Madonna House entails.
  • Programs for Visiting Guests at Madonna House.
  • How you could or would discern your own vocation.
