Vocation Discernment
What are you seeking?
Trying to figure out your future?
Are you seeking peace?
Have you asked where God wants you?
God has the answers to these questions. Guadalupe House may help you to discover them.
Is your world supportive?
Today's noisy and distracting world makes it difficult to hear God's voice.
Maybe your friends and even your family are paying little or no attention to the spiritual life.
Many no longer believe that God exists or, if He does exist, that He cares.
Guadalupe House can help you set aside time to listen, while living in community with your brothers. You will discover your next step.

What is a Vocation?
God gives each of us a mission which will bring us to the greatest holiness and joy. This is called our vocation, which involves every aspect of our life.
Sometimes one vocation leads to another. When we are not sure of our vocation or mission, when our life's direction is unclear, we are in a period of life discernment.
