Phase IV
By Phase IV the ministry is at the pinnacle of influence, operational capabilities, and visible results within its parish. The vocation ministry members may be asked by a young person for advice about discernment, individuals may spend more time thinking about the meaning of marriage in their spiritual lives, and more young people may be seriously considering the priesthood or religious life. These and other affirming results indicate the vocation ministry is meeting its goals of encouraging vocations and helping individuals move toward holiness and discern God’s will in their lives.
