Order of Mercy friars

We know of a priest who came from a family with five boys who became priests.

That’s a story worth telling. An encouragement to others eager to hear good news in the Church.

The Institute on Religious Life in Mundelein, IL is looking for someone who knows of a family with more than one vocation from the same family. Such stories are a sign of special grace being poured out on a single family.

The IRL is widely known as a supporter of authentic religious communities. Their publication, Religious Life, as well as the IRL website, contains lots of useful information about religious and consecrated life in the United States and the English-speaking world. Their magazine is only one of its many outreaches, which include a National Meeting in the Chicago area every spring, books, recordings, and an affiliate program for religious communities.

Such as story would be a great way to promote religious life, as well as to let others know about your community. The article should be 175 to 200 words and written in the third person. Include a photo of your family religious as well. Send an email using the Contact Us page, or call the number at the top of the page.

If you are a client of our Come & See Vocation Promotion Program, we’ll write the article for you at no cost. Just contact me.
