Rodi, D.D., J.D., J.C.L.	Welcome to the Wepage for the Vocation's Office for the Archdiocese of Mobile The Archdiocese of Mobile is committed to directing people who are discerning God's call to serve His Church. Here at the Office of Vocations, we strive to help you in your journey to discern the vocation you are being called to in the Catholic Church, especially within the Archdiocese of Mobile. Every Priest is called by God to live and act in the very person of His Son, Jesus Christ. The diocesan priest, in union with his bishop, serves the People of God in many ways: Baptizing people, Celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Absolving sins through Penance and Reconciliation, presiding over Marriages, Burying the dead, Anointing the sick, Preaching the Gospel, Teaching the faith, Counseling the troubled, Visiting the imprisoned. The Priest is called to imitate Jesus Christ in a very specific way. He must be ready to put on the mind and heart of Our Lord. In order to grow in your spiritual life, it is recommended that you have a spiritual director. A spiritual director can help guide you in the discernment process. The Office of Vocations provides a list of spiritual directors who can assist you in your discernment. Through Baptism, every Christian has a vocation, that is a call from God to serve the Church in some specific way. The priesthood and religious life is a supernatural call to lay down ones own life. We need men to give up their lives for Jesus Christ Now. What are you willing to give? Are you willing to preach the Gospel? Are you willing to lay your life down on the Altar, just as Christ did?
