 he purpose of the Parish Vocation Team is to inspire and assist The Annunciation and St. Augustine Parish in fulfilling its mission of fostering a positive vocations culture and, in particular, encouraging young people to consider a vocation to the ordained ministry and/or religious life. The Parish Vocations Team will do this in three ways:
-
By encouraging prayer for vocations.- the Parish Vocations Team will look for new ways to promote and increase prayer, for Vocations in our Parish community.
-
By fostering an awareness of the different Vocations in the Church. -The Parish Vocations Team will make use of posters, notices and other material to highlight the different Vocations within the Church.
-
By facilitating participation in Vocations Events. - The Parish Vocations Team will publicise the diocesan Vocations Events, and encourage participation from our Parish. This may include organising transport to and from Diocesan events.

It will endeavour to work closely with other groups in the parish, especially those involved with Youth Ministry and Catechists.
