“I realized that I was in love with the Lord; no person nor anything other than He would fulfill me.”
It took witnessing a fatal car accident for Sister Brandi, then an atheist, to begin asking the big questions. As she grappled with the purpose of her life, she heard a clear call to join God in religious life. Thanks to the Fund for Vocations, which took over her student loan payments, Sister Brandi (now Sister Consolata) started her journey on the path into the heart of God. Donor generosity makes this possible—for hundreds of faithful young Catholic men and women.
Many young men and women are called to religious life but cannot enter formation because of student loan debt. The Catholic Church needs these vocations. So does the wider world—even if it doesn’t know it. The Fund for Vocations makes grants to young men and women who have already been accepted for religious formation and whose student loans are the last barrier to entry. This is where the generous lay faithful come in.
“I realized that I was in love with the Lord; no person nor anything other than He would fulfill me.”
“… Through imitating Christ, poor, chaste, and obedient, I desire to give myself completely to His Bride, the Church.”
“God’s will is more perfect than mine, His thoughts are purer than mine, His glory is more important than mine. He must increase and I must remember that I am nothing.”
“I was drawn to imitate Mary’s deep humility and constant mortification.”
“I know that a vocation is a gift and God has given this gift to me and I will not pass this opportunity.”
