Avow Women's Discernment Group

Avow was created by Sr. Clare Matthiass, CFR and Vianney Vocations. Our goal is simple: to help women draw closer to Jesus as they discern a possible vocation to religious life. We use the tried-and-true model of “discernment groups” because they work. When women learn together, pray together, and support each other, it’s much easier to discern with clarity. This can be run in a parish, diocese, or religious order. It would be particularly effective after Called By Name has been completed in a parish or diocese, as well. Avow uses a similar format as The Melchizedek Project, a successful discernment group model for men discerning the priesthood.
