Are You Called?

The word vocation comes from the Latin word vocare, “to call.” Everyone has a vocation to holiness – a unique and personal call to a sacrificial love of God and neighbor.

Is your call to the religious life and the priesthood in a community like ours? Only through prayer and exploration can you find the answer. Your most important qualification is the desire to do the Will of God.

The Prayer of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius

Heavenly Father, through the intercession

of St. John of Kenty,

may we the members and the associates of the Canons Regular of

St. John Cantius

increase daily in holiness and strive for the

sanctity of all.

May we become zealous restorers of the Sacred

in your church

and tireless apostles

to the world.

We ask this through Christ our Lord and King.
