CATHOLICS ON CALL: Directions for Your Life
Catholics on Call is now accepting applications for the 2010 Young Adult Conference: June 3-6 (extended weekend program) and August 1-6 (week long program). Catholics on Call gives 18-30 year-old men and women the time and the resources to reflect on God’s call in their lives. We reach out to young adults who may be considering the possibility of a life of service in the church as a lay minister, religious sister or brother or priest. The conferences are offered free of charge and are held in Chicago at Catholic Theological Union. Participants are responsible for their own travel expenses.
