X VOCATIONS WEEKEND FOR WOMEN (20s/30s)
Theme:
Discerning God's Call in your life
Dates: 16-18 February 2024 in Liverpool
The weekend is organised by the Sisters, Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ). Jesus invites each of us to 'Come and See' - this weekend will give the opportunity to explore the vocation to religious life and to reflect on God's call to you.
If you
are wondering if God is calling you to religious life and would like to find
out more why not come along? You are welcome to stay for the weekend or
just come along on Saturday for the day. There will
be opportunity for prayer, reflection and input, chance to ask questions and to
meet others who are also wondering where God is calling them. For more
information contact Sr Lynne fcJ at fcjvocationeurope@gmail.com or
