Vocation Panel – Mount Carmel, New Bedford


 On Sunday evening, January 28, the Maronite Servants of Christ the Light participated in a vocation panel tailored to the two confirmation classes of the Roman Catholic parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in New Bedford, MA.

On the panel were Fr. Tom Washburn, a Franciscan Friar that serves in Buzzards Bay, Sr. Therese Maria and Sr. Natalie Sayde, and Deacon Maurice Ouellette, who serves the parish of St. Lawrence in New Bedford. Each of the panel members spoke on their personal vocation stories and how God touched their hearts to pursue their vocation. All throughout the stories we could see how God still speaks to many people, and how He alone desires our true fulfillment and happiness.

The teens enjoyed asking questions to different panel members, for instance, we were asked, “what do we do all day?”, “why do we wear a habit?”, “what kind of music do we listen to?” The sisters enjoyed spending the evening with the teens and getting to know them.
