Are you literally waking up to questions about your vocation? Wondering if God is calling you to be a Franciscan Sister? Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity serving in Arizona recently collaborated to offer a discernment day for young women. The perfect location was a favorite pilgrimage destination site, San Xavier Mission Del Bac, Tucson.

Here’s what the discerners had to say about the day.

What touched your heart during this discernment day?

• The Sisters- always welcoming, kind and insightful
• Hearing the Sisters’ stories
• Seeing Sister Mary Teresa. I missed her a lot. The fact that you all fed us.
• The passion the Sisters have for their vocation
• Time spent with the Sisters…I really was meant to be here today.
• Getting to meet such a young Sister! Not very often-or ever-that I’ve seen someone my age in a veil.
• Reuniting with all the Sisters

What part of the day did you find the most helpful?

• When the Sisters talked about their vocation, it was helpful for me in trying to find mine.
• Reflection questions (workshops)
• the 10 minute prayer/meditation times
• Being able to sit down and talk to the Sisters
• Open discussion
• How much Sisters supported vocations, even for those who don’t finish the program
• I liked the balance between group time and reflection time in the morning. It’s so hard to find a space to be quiet.
• Parting into groups and going to different topics in the booklet
