Mark Watkins, former St. Vivian Associate Pastor, and Archdiocesan Vocation Office Director. A modest-sized committee of parishioners has formed and are meeting periodically with Fr. Jack to begin activities. Jack has concurred, made suggestions, and initiated these ideas. Also, a parish-wide discernment process is being explored and expected to be underway soon.
Discernment is a prayerful process that helps identify potential ministers for religious life.
Referrals can be made to Fr. Jack and forwarded to the Archdiocesen Vocation office. The Vocation Committee and Fr. Jack are open to your suggestions. Committee members may be contacted for information, including Jim Allgier, Jodi Bender, Anita Bidleman, Larry Donnelly, Ron Fein, Judy Knapp, Dave Nichols, Bob Massa, Milt Partridge, and Don Schaeper.
