This Giving Tuesday, the Marian Fathers at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy need your help to meet an extraordinary challenge. We need to build a new Monastery because we have more young men studying for the priesthood today than at any time in our history and it would be a shame to have to turn anyone away who wants to be a Marian priest simply because we don't have enough rooms! Please help us raise $1 million to meet this matching gift challenge – and build a new Monastery on the “Field of Dreams” we call Eden Hill.

Fr. Tyler of the Marian Fathers is asked about vocations and how he knew he was called to the priesthood. Take a listen to this genuine and authentic answer. Blessings on this newly ordained priest!

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/011426.cfm Father Chris Alar, MIC, reflects on the heart of the discernment of every vocation: learning to listen to God. Vocation is not just about priesthood or religious life — it is the unique call God has placed in your life. Marriage, single life, priesthood, religious life — each is holy, each is purposeful, and each is a path to sanctity when lived in prayer and trust.
