When children are young, you can create an environment that fosters vocations by going to Mass frequently and seeking the sacraments, praying together as a family, actively participating in Church activities, sharing your faith journey, and reading stories about saints who made an impact in areas that speak to your children’s interests. For young men and women, there are summer discernment retreats offered by the Diocese of Charlotte and hosted at Belmont Abbey College: Quo Vadis Days for young men, and Duc in Altum and Talitha Koum for young women.
