I think it's a total waste of money, personally. Vocations are nurtured by good parenting and good role models at school and in the parish.

I soooo agree with all ur observations. These people murder the gospel message by trying to make it cool. If they just concentrated on following jesus and not on trying to be what they are not then i tink things wud crank up a bit. We are not selling the priesthood like a job. The reason vocations are declining is not because we're not making good posters it cause the church needs more renewal and less rubbish, more sacraments and less meetings about how to do things. I HATE MEETINGS about nothing, thats all these people seem to do, have meetings about phoning other people and asking them to phone someone else to do something arghhhhh.Niamhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500174036054265986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460768490431892231.post-44760426120089852872007-05-08T23:27:00.000+00:002007-05-08T23:27:00.000+00:00Sorry, I meant "bureaucracy".Sorry, I meant "bureaucracy".Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460768490431892231.post-28636630643505399342007-05-08T23:03:00.000+00:002007-05-08T23:03:00.000+00:00The Catholic Church website and indeed the whole E...The Catholic Church website and indeed the whole Ecclesdon Square beaurocracy needs a good shake up.
