New director of vocations
We congratulate Fr David Catterall (pictured) on his appointment as the
new
diocesan director of vocations.
Fr David, who was ordained a priest
for our
diocese back in the Jubilee Year 2000, will replace
Fr Sean Cullen,
who served as vocations director for many years.
“I look forward to working
with the bishop, priests and people of the
diocese in creating a vocations
culture
in our local Church and finding creative ways to make vocations to
the priesthood
and religious life valued and explored,” the new director
says.
“All of
us are called through our Baptism to nurture and support each other
in the
living out of our own vocation - whether we are a priest or
religious, married
or single, whether we are young or old, all of us are
called to be living examples
of our own ways of life.”
Fr David is hoping to build on the work that
has
already been done, as well as creating new opportunities to assist the
people
of our diocese to discern their vocation.
One of Fr David’s prim-ary
roles as vocations director is to accompany those
who are already preparing
for priestly ministry in our diocese.
He also sees part of his role as helping
others - especially young adults in
our parishes and schools - to see diocesan
priesthood and religious life as
a life-giving and credible option when they
are discerning the direction God
is calling them to take.
