Becoming Truly Myself: Praying My Personal Vocation
12-13 Sep (stay in retreat for adults)
SFX Retreat Center

The notion of personal vocation (as articulated by theologians like Herbert Alphonso) is the understanding that God has a unique, unrepeatable calling for every individual—a fundamental purpose that transcends professional identity or temporary roles. It's not a list of tasks, but a specific way of being and loving that only one can offer to the world.
