Vocare is a Latin verb meaning "to call". Vocare is a renewal weekend geared towards young adults ages 18-29. A Vocare weekend is staffed by young adults and a few clergy. This team prepares for the weekend by working and praying together. In their planning sessions, the design a series of talks and discussions which will hopefully help us to become more aware of our being "called by God" and to help each other in answering this call. These talks will focus on subjects such as: spiritual growth, faith, vocation, community and prayer. In addition to the talks and discussion, we will pray, eat, sing and play together. There will also be opportunities for personal reflection and speaking with the spiritual directors. During the weekend, you are encouraged to ask questions, speak up, laugh and enjoy the prescence of God in our midst.

Vocare #3 will be held the first weekend in February 2008 at Camp Mikell, in north Georgia.

The Diocese of Georgia does not currently have its own Vocare program, but we are joining with the Diocese of Atlanta in their Vocare program. We have sent participants and staff to the first two Vocare's and plan to do the same for Vocare #3.

In the future, we hope to move Vocare to a centrally located venue, to make it easier for people from both dioceses to attend.
